Version Note

Docker Hub exposed 0.71.0, while the official GitHub releases page still showed v0.70.3 during chart creation
because HelmForge validates application releases against both sources, the chart currently pins 0.70.3

Operational Notes

this alpha chart currently supports replicaCount=1 only
default installs use bundled PostgreSQL and Redis
the PostgreSQL bootstrap enables unaccent and pg_trgm, which Docmost migrations require
