Aleksei SviridkinandClaude 4a45dc998a docs(troubleshooting): add inotify limits documentation and workaround
Add comprehensive troubleshooting documentation for inotify instance limit
errors that cause Jellyfin crashes in environments with many containers.

Changes:
- Add Troubleshooting section to README with inotify limits explanation
- Document proper solution: increase kernel limits via sysctl
- Provide workaround for managed clusters: DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER
- Add commented example in values.yaml for easy copy-paste
- Update Chart version from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1
- Add Artifact Hub changelog annotation

The proper solution is to increase inotify limits on Kubernetes nodes:
```bash
sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=512
```

For managed Kubernetes where node access is restricted, users can use the
polling workaround (less efficient but functional):
```yaml
jellyfin:
  env:
    - name: DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER
      value: "1"
```

This addresses the crash issue mentioned in #64.

Fixes: #64

Jellyfin Helm Charts Repository

This repository contains Helm charts for the jellyfin project.

Repository Structure

Each Helm chart is stored in its own directory. Each chart follows the standard Helm chart structure:

│   └── ...
├── chart2/
│   ├── Chart.yaml
│   ├── values.yaml
│   ├── templates/
│   └── ...
└── ...
  • Chart.yaml: Contains metadata about the chart (name, version, app version, etc.).
  • values.yaml: Default configuration values for the chart.
  • templates/: The Kubernetes resource templates (YAML files) that Helm uses to deploy the chart.
