We are excited to share the release of the n8n Helm chart version 1.22.5 on 2026-06-19, featuring app version 2.26.6. This update introduces new features and valuable community-driven enhancements, all focused on simplifying your n8n deployment on Kubernetes.

What's New in n8n 1.22.5 chart​

In this release, we've worked hard on updates to both the Helm chart (version 1.22.5) and the underlying application (version 2.26.6). Here’s a look at the significant changes:

  • Fixed: Set the NPM_CONFIG_CACHE environment variable in the main container to enable community package installations while keeping readOnlyRootFilesystem enabled.

  • Fixed: Resolved issues with community node packages not being accessible in external task runner mode and added --ignore-scripts to prevent postinstall script errors.

  • Added: Introduced optional PVC persistence for community node packages via nodes.external.persistence.

  • Fixed: Ensured that community package installs route into the main/worker PVC when its mountPath already includes /home/node/.n8n/nodes, eliminating unnecessary separate volumes.

  • Fixed: Addressed the creation of the worker PVC not occurring when worker.count > 1 with ReadWriteMany access mode.

  • Fixed: Fixed the sharing of community packages across StatefulSet replicas using a ReadWriteOnce PVC when forceToUseStatefulset is true.

For a complete overview of all changes, check out the release notes on GitHub.
