Docker - Encoding (Locale)

In docker linux, in order to set your default encoding, you need to set your locale via environment variable in your dockerfile

• Check/ List the locales

locale -a

C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

• If there is no locale, install them

apt-get install -y locales
# if you really want to have all locales :)
# apt-get install -y locales-all

• Then in docker file

ENV LANG C.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL C.UTF-8
