[Bug]: Possibly not escaping special characters in MongoDB password correctly during backups

[real-nickallen]

Error Message and Logs

Hi there,

I noticed an issue when setting a custom password for a MongoDB connection in Coolify. Passwords containing special characters (e.g., (, ), >, or others) can cause errors during the S3 backup setup. I think this has to do with url encoding maybe?

I noticed this when I was setting up backups for one my databases. I had randomly generated a password that included a ')' and it kept failing with:

bash: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token ')'

I also tried with a couple other such as '>' and got similar errors which I believe is the same problem!

This is my first time submitting an issue, so I’m not sure if this is a bug or just something to keep in mind when creating MongoDB user passwords. Either way, I really appreciate Coolify and wanted to share this just in case it’s something worth noting.

Thanks!
Nick

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new MongoDB instance
2. Update the password to include a special character such as '(' or '>'
3. Save and restart the deployment
4. Try perform a database backup through the Coolify UI
