[Bug]: WireGuard.Startup() is fired without await/catch in Database.ts, so a startup failure becomes an unhandled rejection instead of a clean exit
Describe the bug
src/server/utils/Database.ts:20-28:
connect()
.then((db) => {
provider = db;
WireGuard.Startup();
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log('Failed to connect to Database:', err);
process.exit(1);
});WireGuard.Startup() is async (WireGuard.ts:167) and does the real work: key generation, writing wg0.conf, wg down/wg up, and the "Cannot find device" kernel-support diagnostic (WireGuard.ts:~205). Its promise is not awaited, not returned into the chain, and not caught. Consequences:
- Any rejection inside
Startup()(missing kernel module, bad interface config,wgbinary failing, DB row in a bad state) is an unhandled promise rejection. On Node ≥ 15 that crashes the process with a genericUnhandledPromiseRejectiontrace rather than the intended, readable error fromStartup(); with--unhandled-rejections=warnit just logs a warning and the app keeps serving an admin UI on top of an interface that never came up. - The
.catchthat reads "Failed to connect to Database" is skipped for these failures, so the log is misleading. Database.interfaces.update(wgInterface)insideStartup()(the AmneziaWG header generation branch,WireGuard.ts:~200) is also not awaited, so#saveWireguardConfigcan race ahead of the DB write.
Expected behavior
Return the promise into the chain and let the existing catch handle it with a useful message:
connect()
.then(async (db) => {
provider = db;
await WireGuard.Startup();
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error('Failed to start:', err);
process.exit(1);
});and await Database.interfaces.update(wgInterface); inside Startup().
