Issue:
🐛 Bug: Docker Image Segmentation Fault on Startup (v1.8.0 / latest)
Running the Docker image liwei2633/gopeed:latest (or v1.8.0) causes a segmentation fault on startup due to a nil pointer dereference. This was tested and confirmed on two separate machines. Downgrading to v1.7.1 resolves the issue.


$ docker run --rm liwei2633/gopeed
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0x11c1189]

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
        /app/cmd/web/main.go:52 +0x2c9

Hints from issue comments:
@Fluent-Man: There is a similar fault when running the “web-linux-1.8.0-arm64”. Version 1.7.1 is no errors reported.

$ ./gopeed

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0xc2b448]

@monkeyWie: Thanks for report, I'll fix it ASAP.@monkeyWie: I have re-uploaded the v1.8.0 web and docker versions, please try the new version!@Mohdsuhailpgdi: Tried again with the new image, The container starts now but not able to access the web.@monkeyWie: @Mohdsuhailpgdi Can you provide more detailed information, such as screenshots?@Fluent-Man:  Here is the terminal when I start  the web-gopeed. But when I use the earlier gopeed,  it's "Server start success on http://[::]:9999",
rather than "127.0.0.1". I can't use the browser with the IP:9999 to open the web-gopeeed-v1.8.0 
$./gopeed
