Description
Original report:
I was able to setup the server and have my nextcloud instance connect to it. I can create new whiteboards but whatever I draw in them is not saved. If I close the whiteboard, when I go to reopen it, It's empty.
Subtasks
- Get #259 merged
- Add connectivity check for admin settings https://github.com/nextcloud/whiteboard/pull/297
- When saving and testing the connectivity in the Nextcloud admin settings we could also perform a check on the whiteboard backend and verify that it can connect to Nextcloud
- If file is locked we should retry (in case we don't already)
- We should check why a 500 is returned 409 Conflict, which could indicate the reason to the whiteboard backend server

Research direction
Reproduce the report by drawing on a whiteboard, closing it, and reopening it. Review merged PR #333 and the remaining subtasks, especially connectivity-check PR #297 and the file-lock retry behavior; inspect why a 500 response may represent 409 Conflict. Done means the remaining persistence and connectivity problems are addressed and verified.
