Devilbox: Locale

[laeckerv]

I was wondering if there is a possibility to configure the 'locale' to 'de_DE' for the httpd/php docker container?

[cytopia]

Its currently not supported, except if you alter the Dockerfile and rebuild the container.

What is the benefit of changing it to something else than the current default?

[laeckerv]

Okay :-)

The benefit would be that the localized use of strftime and other php functions that depend on the locale setting would work 👍

[cytopia]

@laeckerv that is something that should be changed in your php.ini or actually on a per project base during project initialization and not on the server's timezone.

@cytopia :

Like this?

# test.php

<?php
    setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE.UTF8');
    echo strftime("%#d %B", strtotime($ticket->date_created));
?>

As far as i understand this example needs to have the 'de_DE.UTF8' locale installed on the server? But by default only the following are installed.

[email protected] in /shared/httpd $ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU
en_AU.iso88591
en_AU.utf8

en_SG.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915

en_ZA
en_ZA.iso88591
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZM
en_ZM.utf8
en_ZW
en_ZW.iso88591
en_ZW.utf8

Update: I managed to add the de_DE.UTF8 by doing this with root (./root-bash.sh)
localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8

Still wondering if this would be possible with the env file for the docker-compose (I need to admit i don't fully understand the whole docker thing, yet) 👍

I can provide a whole bunch of locales inside the container by default.
Let's see if it can also be easily changeable.

@laeckerv do you know how to generate all locales under CentOS?

@laeckerv

I have rebuilt all PHP/HHVM Docker containers. The following locales have been added by default:
https://github.com/cytopia/docker-php-fpm-5.4/blob/master/Dockerfile#L313

Dockerhub will probably take 60 minutes for them being available. Once the time is up, you can update your containers (in latest devilbox master branch) via:

./update-docker.sh
