Describe the bug
Hello AmneziaVPN team! I've encountered the following issue: when restarting a container that has gone into the Exited status, either the configurations disappear from the client (screenshot 1), or they remain but with Default names (screenshot 2). However, all these configurations remain valid and fully functional. Consequently, I lose control over the configurations that have been issued to users indefinitely, as I cannot, for example, delete a specific configuration because I don't know which one it is without the names I assigned. In the container's wg0.conf file, previously issued [Peer] configurations are present, but the clientsTable is empty (screenshot 3). If I issue a new configuration after the incident, it works as expected. During a normal container restart, all data is saved and remains unchanged. I understand that the solution might be obvious and involve the recreation of the crashed container upon restart, but in that case, the previously issued configurations would not continue to work properly.

I hope for your assistance and thank you in advance!

Sincerely, a user in love with your product.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. The AmneziaWG Docker container crashes
  2. You restart it
  3. You check the "Users" tab in the Windows client
  4. The list is empty or the configurations are named "Client 0, Client 1, Client ..."
  5. You enter the container
  6. You display the clientsTable
  7. The clientsTable is empty
  8. The wg0.conf still contains the configuration data, and they continue to work for the users

Expected behavior
After the restart, the configurations remain functional, and I can manage their names based on the ones I assigned.
