osctrl-tls doesn't use the defined user in `db.json`

[CptOfEvilMinions]

When osctrl-tls is started and passed a db.json config it doesn't use the username in the config (see error logs). I think the user postgres is hard coded.

db.json:

{
  "db": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "5432",
    "name": "osctrl",
    "username": "osctrl",
    "password": "osctrl",
    "max_idle_conns": 20,
    "max_open_conns": 100,
    "conn_max_lifetime": 30
  }
}

Start osctrl-tls

/usr/local/bin/osctrl-tls --config --config-file /etc/osctrl/osctrl-tls/service.json --redis --redis-file /etc/osctrl/redis.json --db --db-file /etc/osctrl/db.json

Error output:

This was a false positive due to file perms.

Re-opening this ticket to start a discussion. If a config is defined like --config-file /etc/osctrl/osctrl-tls/service.json and if osctrl-tls can't read it, shouldn't it exit?

Based on the output above, osctrl-tls attempts to connect to the database with default values.

Good point, and yes I think if the file is specified, but for whatever reason the file is not accesible or format is incorrect... Then service should halt

Should be fixed in https://github.com/jmpsec/osctrl/pull/383
