Hello, I spun up my instance and when I was doing the initial setup I got an error "Server already exists". I reloaded the page and realized that the server was a copy of https://exploding-heads.com/. I was really confused since I didn't do anything. I didn't even federated with that instance. After that I changed the settings to how I wanted them to be and moved on with the day. I thought it was one time issue.

Few days later I restarted the server and when I got back to it the name, logo, description and sidebar have changed back to the ones from the other instance. I changed them back to normal and decided to restart just the docker containers. Again the same issue.

Normally the logs help but this time nothing out of normal shows up.

No problem. This PR would fix the problem once it gets implemented.
