Description

Hi folks,
I got the following error log in /home/git/gitlab/log/unicorn.stderr.log when starting gitlab container where DB_PASS="<%password%>".

(erb):13:in <main>': Cannot load Rails.application.database_configuration: (NameError) uninitialized constant password from /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/erb.rb:864:in eval'
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/erb.rb:864:in result' from /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/railties-4.2.8/lib/rails/application/configuration.rb:104:in database_configuration'

Maybe there are some characters need to be escaped.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GitLab container startup with the reported DB_PASS value and inspect /home/git/gitlab/log/unicorn.stderr.log. Trace how Rails loads database_configuration and determine what “done” means for passwords containing these characters: startup should load the configuration without the reported NameError.
