Description

Including extra configs (like trusted_proxies) on first install of the chart appears to result in Nextcloud failing with the following:

Error. It looks like you are trying to reinstall your NextCloud. However the file CAN_INSTALL is missing from your config directory. Please create the file CAN_INSTALL in your config folder to continue.

Adding the config after the fact works as intended.

Research direction

Start with a fresh Nextcloud Helm chart install that includes an extra config such as trusted_proxies, then compare it with adding the same config afterward. Done means the first install completes without the CAN_INSTALL/reinstall error while the extra config is applied.
