Line 27 should refer to REMOTE_PASS instead of DB_PASS

Thanks for the correction. Surprised no one else noticed in the past 3 years!

Well, I am too lazy to set a password for my local MySQL installation. 👻 Thanks for sharing the script!🌹

I have shared my minor (mostly useless) changes here: https://gist.github.com/dezren39/09c70d28bf61e12dcbd1933582d0e250
I commented out the set variables because I pass them in as container env vars.
I also escaped every variable. My passwords required it and some dump file cases could too, it's probably overkill to do all of them but was easier from the editor.
