Description

habitat/hooks/init:

Aug 03 10:12:48 dokken hab[14447]: oc_bifrost.default hook[init]:(HK): createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  database "bifrost" already exists
Aug 03 10:12:48 dokken hab[14447]: oc_bifrost.default hook[init]:(HK): NOTICE:  extension "uuid-ossp" already exists, skipping
Aug 03 10:12:48 dokken hab[14447]: oc_bifrost.default hook[init]:(HK): CREATE EXTENSION
Aug 03 10:12:48 dokken hab[14447]: oc_bifrost.default hook[init]:(HK): Could not determine home directory

Adding export HOME=/hab/svc/oc_bifrost/var fixes this issue, but run script still contains issues:

-export CHEF_SECRETS_DATA=$(cat /hab/svc/oc_bifrost/config/veil-secrets.json)
+export CHEF_SECRETS_DATA="$(cat /hab/svc/oc_bifrost/config/veil-secrets.json)"

Research direction

Start with habitat/hooks/init and locate the run script containing CHEF_SECRETS_DATA. Reproduce the oc_bifrost initialization output, verify the home-directory failure and secret-value handling, then confirm the hook completes without that error and the existing initialization behavior remains intact.
