[8.x] Missing Locales about docker

[thijskaspers]

This could have to do with the Alpine Linux version that the latest PHP Docker images utilize. Since Alpine Linux 3.16, the ICU locales packages have been divided: icu-data-en and icu-data-full. Somehow Alpine decided only the first package has to be installed by default.

So possible fixes: downgrade/pin to Alpine Linux 3.15 (image php:${PHP_VERSION}-${PROJECT_TYPE}-alpine3.15) or install necessary packages: apk add icu-data-full to install all locales.

See: #59 (comment)

@timkelty this issue is preventing people from using Craft with Nitro in their desired locale. If the user doesn't have the Craft docker image pulled to their system yet, it will pull the latest version, which is based on the official PHP image with Alpine 3.16. The icu-data-full package has become optional since Alpine 3.16 and isn't installed in the Craft docker image, so only English is an option when installing Craft.

Would it be best to add that package, or to pin Alpine to a fixed version (in this case 3.15, which doesn't have the issue yet)? Or both? Perhaps pin to 3.16 and install the icu-data-full dependency to be sure nothing goes wrong when people rebuild the image?

(I'm unsure if the icu-data-full package is also available for v3.15, so this might throw errors when the system tries to build the image while the build layer is still using 3.15 as the base image instead of 3.16)

Yes, you are able to login as su with this command:

docker exec -it --user root YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME sh

then with apk add icu-data-full followed by a restart of the container gives me all languages back. :-)

Alpine Linux 3.16 changelog states:

"icu-libs only installs icu-data-en. If additional language support is required, icu-data-full needs to be installed manually."

(I'm unsure if the icu-data-full package is also available for v3.15, so this might throw errors when the system tries to build the image while the build layer is still using 3.15 as the base image instead of 3.16)

Update to confirm icu-data-full isn't available on Alpine Linux 3.15. It has been separated from the ICU data package since 3.16, mentioned here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Release_Notes_for_Alpine_3.16.0

install necessary packages: apk add icu-data-full to install all locales.

@thijskaspers @timkelty are there any workarounds available ATM? www-data does not have permissions to run apk add but su(do) is not available

[timkelty]

New images have been pushed to dockerhub – could you try again?

[Mankeldor]

In my case this issue is now fixed. :-)

My steps:

1. Destroy nginx containers
2. brew upgrade
3. nitro update

Thanks for everyone's help and patience!
