 The homelab deployment is selected in [homelab-gitops](https://code.brunner.ninja/feedc0de/homelab-gitops/src/branch/main/apps/mumble). It uses the optional PostgreSQL subchart and keeps the existing `default/mumble` Service and Deployment names, the `mumble-secrets` and TLS Secrets, and TCP/UDP port 64738. The old shared PostgreSQL database is deliberately left intact as rollback data. `bootstrap-homelab-secrets.sh` is a guarded, one-time secret recovery/bootstrap helper; it does not deploy workloads. Back up the dedicated PostgreSQL PVC and both Mumble Secrets together.
 
+`directAccess.enabled` optionally creates a second `mumble-direct` Service on the same TCP/UDP ports. Set `directAccess.externalIPs` to addresses already routed to a cluster node. This Service uses cluster-wide endpoint routing, so an address on one node can reach a ready Mumble pod on another node. It leaves the primary LoadBalancer Service and its client-IP policy unchanged. The homelab uses this for the Funkfeuer/OLSR address on `arschrock`.

 Chart package versions come from Git tags using `git describe --tags --long`. The tag `v1.5.939` denotes the tested upstream Mumble release; a later chart-only commit publishes a distinct `1.5.939-N-gHASH` chart version. Source CI validates the chart, publishes it to the indexed `brunner.ninja` repository, and promotes only this chart's selected version in GitOps. CI has no Kubernetes credential.
 
 The old `mumble-server.ini` file is ignored because it contains obsolete plaintext credentials. Never commit it, kubeconfigs, generated Secret values, or database dumps.
