## Exercise cannot be started after an outage
### Issue
Cannot start an exercise even though all exercises are stopped.
### Cause
When an exercise is running, a special lockfile is created. This lockfile is deleted automatically
when the exercise is stopped. If the backend server crashes or the server is manually stopped during
a running exercise, this file will not be properly deleted, preventing from starting this specific
exercise again. The server is set up to automatically delete all lockfiles on startup. However, if
this issue persists even after restarting the server, it could be possible that the process failed.
Ensure that no lockfiles are present in the `data` directory with the name `exercise-<ID>.lock`. The
`data` directory is located in the base directory of the backend. These files can be deleted while
the server is running, however only if there are no actual running exercises.

error in code. Therefore, the code is trying to create an inject with the same key (id), triggering
