Warn when the webroot holds an image-initialised instance, not a restore
Running this play against an empty ~/podman-data/nextcloud does not fail. It creates the webroot, writes the environment file, starts the image, and the entrypoint initialises a fresh, uninstalled instance there -- its own code rsynced in, data/.ocdata created, and no config.php, because there is no NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER to install with. Copying monoco's tree on top of that then merges two versions of the code, which is the drift the rest of this role warns about, and nothing in the play's output says so. The role now stats config/config.php before the container starts and warns when it is missing, naming both cases: a copy that never landed, and a play that ran before the copy. It warns rather than fails because installing a new instance through the web UI is a legitimate use of this playbook and has no config.php until the installer finishes. readme.md gains the recovery step next to the deploy step, including why the rm -rf needs no `podman unshare`.

### If you ran the playbook before copying
|
||||
|
||||
Running this play against an empty `~/podman-data/nextcloud` does not fail — it
|
||||
creates the webroot, writes the environment file, starts the image, and the
|
||||
entrypoint initialises a **fresh, uninstalled** instance there: the image's own
|
||||
code rsynced in, `data/.ocdata` created, and no `config.php`, because there is no
|
||||
`NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER` to install with.
|
||||
|
||||
That is not a usable instance, and worse, copying monoco's tree on top of it
|
||||
**merges two versions of the code** — the drift this page spends the rest of its
|
||||
time warning about, produced silently by a play that reported success. The role
|
||||
now warns when it finds a webroot with no `config/config.php`, but the recovery is
|
||||
to start from a clean webroot:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh emily 'systemctl --user stop nextcloud.service
|
||||
rm -rf ~/podman-data/nextcloud'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`rm -rf` needs no `podman unshare`: the role creates the webroot as the connection
|
||||
user, and under `keep-id:uid=33` everything the container writes lands on that same
|
||||
user. Then take the copy in step 3 and come back to step 4.

||||
|
||||
### 4. Deploy
