mastodon - how to interpret .env.production for use with backup scripts 

cc @nolan

TEMPFILE=`mktemp`
cat .env.production | grep = | sed "s/=\(.\+\)/='\1'/ > $TEMPFILE
source $TEMPFILE

@Gargron @nolan does the ruby env actually properly interpret it???

@Gargron @vahnj The context is a script that automagically figures out your PG config: gist.github.com/nolanlawson/66

So the goal is that the instance admin doesn't have to modify their .env.production file. @vahnj this looks good to me! If you have a chance, forking my script and testing it out would be great. :)
