Issue

When following README instructions, the app service with fail with an error: Error: Meta database configuration missing database name.
This is because the the db connection url contains the & character, which in some shells (like bash) will delineate the command and run the prefix in the background, leaving the connection url to be truncated as pg://db:5432?u=nocodb.

Proposed Fix

Surround the secret value with quotations in the README to be "pg://db:5432?u=nocodb&p=${DATABASE_PW}&d=nocodb"

Tested on abra version 0.13.0-beta-06a57de and recipe version 2.1.1+0.301.3
