Description
Sometimes, when a matomo:4.2.1 container is (re-)deployed, the ownership of /var/www/hmtl/tmp changes from www-data:www-data to root:root, which causes matomo to fail.
We do mount /var/www/html/config as a volume, not /var/www/html as a whole.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a matomo:4.2.1 container deployment with /var/www/html/config mounted, then inspect how ownership of /var/www/html/tmp changes. Compare the mounted-config setup with mounting /var/www/html as a whole; done means /var/www/html/tmp remains owned by www-data:www-data and Matomo starts successfully.
