you may try https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker/without_pip/prepare_system.sh

on some distros the ansible package is rather old (ubuntu 18 -> ansible 2.5.x) so I used pip to install it plus additional packages. but a mixture of distro pip packages and pip install .. seems to a nightmare.

if the new script doesn't work as well, try to remove the pip packages installed by the old script.
