Containers are created with `--rm`, so Docker removes them asynchronously after they stop.
The pre-start `docker rm` returns immediately while that removal is still in progress
(its error is suppressed), and the following `docker create --name` can fail with
"The container name ... is already in use".
This is easy to hit since systemd_service_manager switched its default restart mode to `all-at-once`:
many containers stop and start at the same time and Docker falls behind on removals.
The playbook then fails at "Restart systemd services needing restart at once",
even though the services recover on their own (`Restart=always`) a little later.
The external roles (MASH, devture) were hardened against this in 2026-03
(see mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-valkey@0ba79c0), but the roles in `roles/custom` never were.
This ports the same bounded cleanup loop to them: stop, force-remove,
and wait until Docker releases the name, failing explicitly after a timeout.

* feat: support container_network=host across all roles + systemd templates
Mirror the pattern Slavi introduced for matrix-coturn (aafa8f0) across the
fork: every 'Ensure X container network is created' task gets a
'when: <var> not in ["", "host"]' guard so MDAD does not try to
docker_network create a network literally named 'host' (returns 403,
since host is a pre-defined Docker network).
Mirror the same guard in every systemd unit template that does
'ExecStartPre=docker network connect <addnet> <container>' loops over
matrix_<role>_container_additional_networks: skip the connects when the
container is on host networking (where additional --network attaches
are invalid).
Unblocks DiD setups where MDAD-managed containers share their host's
network namespace (matrix-mdad outer compose service joined to central
postgres/openldap networks) to reach external services on the outer
Docker daemon.
* Simplify container network guards (!= 'host') and fix duplicate when
Guarding on the empty string ('') as well was misleading: systemd unit
templates still render an unconditional --network= flag, so an empty
network value produces a broken docker create command. Only 'host' is
actually supported, so only guard on that. This also matches the
existing convention in the Traefik role
(when: traefik_container_network != 'host').
Also fix a duplicate when key in the meshtastic-relay role, where the
network-creation task already had a when condition - the two are now
combined into a list.

Closes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/4039
Partially reverts 30dad8ba27 which renamed
`config.yml` to `config.yaml` in the playbook and on the server, for
consistency with the rest of the playbook.
The problem is that:
- baibot defaults to looking for `config.yml`, not `config.yaml` (as provided).
This can be worked around by specifying a new `BAIBOT_CONFIG_FILE_PATH=config.yaml`
environment variable. This brings more complexity.
- renaming the target file (on the server) to `config.yaml` means people
with an existing installation would drag around the old file (`config.yml`) as well,
unless we create a new Ansible task (`ansible.builtin.file` with `state: absent`) to remove
the old file. This brings more complexity as well.
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/4039 adjusts where the file is mounted,
which fixes the immediate problem (baibot not starting), but still means
people will end up with 2 config files for baibot (`config.yml` and `config.yaml`).
This patch, reverts a bit more, so that we still continue to use `config.yml` on the server.
People who have upgraded within the last ~17 hours may end up with 2 files, but it shouldn't be too many of them.
