Docker Container with different NLS Locale Definition (like DEUW)

Question

Question

Ditmar Tybussek · Aug 31, 2022

Hi,

I have a problem when starting the docker container that the collation is standard US

sample:

docker run --name iris1 -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.1.0.209.0 --check-caps false

After the installation I like to import existing classes and globals but it failed due to an collation error

We usually use DEUW = German3

if I change it manually - in the management portal / NLS... - to DEUW it works fine. (By the way.... the managemet portal shows all in German due to the Linux version)

Question: is there a way to predefine/automate the NLS Local on installation?

Product version: IRIS 2022.1

%SYS.NLS.Locale is the class to achieve this.
though it's not so funny
seems to be wrapper around ^%NLS and ^%SYS.NLS

To install locale, execute during docker build:

set sc = ##class(Config.NLS.Locales).Install("deuw")

Hi @Ditmar Tybussek
Raw containers from ISC are always just US versions. (aka. international)
If you use Dockfile you have all freedom to condition YOUR container according to your needs.

MgmtPortal: this is a good old CSP feature that looks for the primary language of your browser
and translates your pages to DE if available.
Docker itself seems to have no idea about your environment.
