I want to make it clear that this issue was not introduced by this PR.

But I'll just mention this again; this will break if DB_PATH has spaces in it. A better way would be to initialize this as an array and use it in a way that handles spaces:

args=()
if [ "${DB_PATH}" != "filebrowser.db" ]; then
	args+=(-d "${DB_PATH}")
fi

Then use this as:

filebrowser "${args[@]}"

(I did not verify if $$ vs $ is required here due to terraform templates.)

This syntax works even in bash-3.2, so should be fine to use. (I opted for arrays as I see we already have a heavy dependency on Bash here.)

TBH There's a lot of places that it could break because of spaces in the path, the LOG_PATH and SERVER_BASE_PATH could also cause problems.

I do think I found a bit easier and more readable way to handle it. Filebrowser supports the FB_DATABASE environment variable. So I just set that at the top inside quotes and then it doesn't matter, it works with or without spaces.
