I used to successfully run psql server 13 in a CentOS 7 docker
container with CentOS 7 as the host operating system. I have now
upgraded that system to Rocky Linux 9 as the host operating system and
modifying my container to also use Rocky Linux 9 and psql server 16.
I can successfully get the container up and running and can connect
to it. However, I have not managed to modify the initdb statement to
use en_US.UTF-8 for all databases.
In the old container I used:
su - postgres -c "/usr/pgsql-13/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/13/data/
-E 'UTF-8' --lc-collate='en_US.UTF-8' --lc-ctype='en_US.UTF-8'"
but this does not work with psql 16. I tried:
su - postgres -c "/usr/pgsql-16/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/16/data/
-E 'UTF-8' --lc-lang='en_US'"
1) Per:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/app-initdb.html
lc_lang does not exist and I get:
/usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/initdb: unrecognized option '--lc-lang=en_US'
2) On Ubuntu 22.04 doing:
/usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/initdb -D postgres/16/data/ -E 'UTF-8'
--lc-collate='en_US.utf8' --lc-ctype='en_US.utf8'
I get:

3) What does locale -a return on your machine?
and variations thereof with no success.
Without a definition of what '... no success' means there is no real
way
to answer this.
Any suggestions on what I have missed?
Thank you.
Good question! ”No success” meant that I have not been able to figure out how to have new databases default to en_US.UTF-8, instead they default to C.UTF-8.
What is the proper syntax for pgsql 16 for this? I could not get the example given in the docs to work...
