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`.
