Here is the answer:

  initContainers:
    - name: init
      image: init:v0.0.1
      env:
      - name: DB_NAME
        value: {{ (index .Values "grafana.ini" "database" "name" ) }}
      - name: DB_USER
        value: {{ (index .Values "grafana.ini" "database" "user" ) }}
      - name: DB_PASS
        value: {{ (index .Values "grafana.ini" "database" "password" ) }}
      - name: SERVICE_DB_USER
        value: "{{ .Values.serviceDbUser }}"
      - name: REAL_DB_HOST
        value: "{{ .Values.realDbHost }}"
      - name: SERVICE_DB_PASS
        value: "{{ .Values.serviceDbPass }}"

I got this from official slack kubernetes channel.
