Ansible Revisited

- name: Checkout openHAB configs if this is a new install
  git:
    repo: "{{ openhab_conf_repo }}"
    dest: "{{ openhab_home }}"
    accept_hostkey: True
  when: (git_running['stderr'] is match(".* succeeded!")) and
        (not conf_present.stat.exists)

And I’m running once again into my old friend java.lang.NumberFormatException: null when I try to start the container with my existing config:

Launching the openHAB runtime...
null
Error occurred shutting down framework: java.lang.NumberFormatException: null

How do you @rlkoshak manage to start a new container with an existing git repo? You once mentioned that I would need the contend of the userdata folder in addition to the config folder.
So what files / folders in the userdata folder do you include into your repo? For example userdata/logs/* wouldn’t make any sense…
What else are auto-generated / often changing files that could and should be ignored by a git repo?
