Summary
Updating a Mattermost-Omnibus install on a bare-metal server with multiple subdomains deletes the (edited) default.conf in nginx conf.d folder, changing the default forward from www to the mattermost subdomain.
Steps to reproduce
Updating Mattermost using "apt upgrade"
Expected behavior
Other configurations should not be altered, not to mention removed without asking.
Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)
Ansible update script seen using "absent" state after new cert was requested.
Relevant syslog:

Possible fixes
Remove/change "absent" keyword for default.conf or alternatively give option to select.
