Starting a second instance on the same host doesn't throw an error or exit

voipmeister commented 3 months ago

Describe the Bug Not quite a bug (but no feature either I think), but while checking different versions of Node and Enigma I accidentally started a second instance. The second instance wasn't bound to port 8888/tcp ofcourse, but there was no warning message either. Would be nice to have a warning message and exit IMHO.

To Reproduce Any relevant steps to reproduce the behavior: Deploy a second installation of Enigma on the same host; start the first instance and the start the second instance.

Desired Behavior Would be nice to have a warning message and exit IMHO.

Actual Behavior The second instance isn't bound to port 8888/tcp and there's no warning message either.

Environment

[x] I am using Node.js v14.x LTS or higher
[x] npm install or yarn reports success
Actual Node.js version (node --version): v18.20.4
Operating system (uname -a on *nix systems): Linux bbs01 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux (Raspberry Pi 3B)
Revision (git rev-parse --short HEAD): 9c0bc88f
Any additional relevant information about your setup: None, I think :)

@voipmeister There should be errors in your log about binding to ports already in use. Enigma doesn't just panic and exit in this case, however.

Understood. Would it be possible to provide a little feedback on the console though? Granted, in production you'd not run into this often or easily, but I'm testing with various installs on the same VM and well... You know :)
