DATABASE_PASSWORD with ampersand breaks mirth.properties

[jay-knight]

If your DATABASE_PASSWORD includes an ampersand (&), the sed command that puts the password into the mirth.properties file messes up the file:

$ echo $DATABASE_PASSWORD
at&t
$ echo "database.password=blah" | sed "s/^database\.password\s*=\s*.*\$/database.password = ${DATABASE_PASSWORD//\//\\/}/"
database.password = atdatabase.password=blaht

The ampersand needs to be escaped. In my experimentation, this SO answer looks to offer a good solution. So that section of entrypoint.sh would look like:

if ! [ -z "${DATABASE_PASSWORD+x}" ]; then
        escaped_password=$(sed 's/[&/\]/\\&/g' <<<"$DATABASE_PASSWORD")
	sed -i "s/^database\.password\s*=\s*.*\$/database.password = ${escaped_password}/" /opt/connect/conf/mirth.properties
fi

Edit: A cleaner way may be to use full line replacement (/pattern to match/c replace full line with this) like this:

if ! [ -z "${DATABASE_PASSWORD+x}" ]; then
	sed -i "/^database\.password\s*=/c database.password = ${DATABASE_PASSWORD}" /opt/connect/conf/mirth.properties
fi
