Is your feature request related to a problem?
Hi there,
We run MetalLB with hostNetwork: false, but currently the helm chart gives us no way of tuning this parameter. This means we have to explicitly declare all the templates and keep them in sync upstream. Is there any way you could add this as a tunable parameter in the values.yaml file?
Many thanks.
Describe the solution you'd like
In values.yaml:
speaker:
hostNetwork: falseAdditional context
