How to change locale settings on Fedora Docker container?

docker fedora

Some documentation about locale setting in arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale

In Dockerfile, adjust LANG to your desired locale. You can add more than one locale in /etc/locale.gen to have a choice later.

Works on debian, arch, but locale-gen misses on fedora:

ENV LANG=en_US.utf8RUN echo "$LANG UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.genRUN locale-genRUN update-locale --reset LANG=$LANG

More general is localedef, works on fedora, too:

ENV LANG=en_US.UTF-8localedef --verbose --force -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

docker fedora

Put this in your Dockerfile

ENV TZ=America/DenverRUN ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone

docker fedora

Edit .bash_profile or .bashrc from root and add the following.

TZ='Asia/Kolkata'export TZ

Save file and commit image after its done.
