Locale problem and support for UTF-8 file names

[ricardojlrufino]

Used names of files and folders with accents (Brazil pt_BR). I had to set the chart and set the environment variables.
To work I had to add these environment variables:

        env:
        - name: LC_ALL
          value: C.UTF-8
        - name: TZ
          value: America/SaoPaulo

Can you add this by default to avoid future problems?

Would be be fine to add

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
LANG=C.UTF-8

Without it I have some errors with large file names sync. This is worsened by another problem: something like ".ocTransferId1997286732.part" is added while ownCloud client tries upload file.

Hey,
since this issue seemed to have gotten lost among all the other open ones, I thought I'd leave a quick comment.
I just experienced a problem with nextcloud this week regarding files and folders with unicode characters in their names (similar/identical to the problem described here).

I was able to fix said problem by adjusting the locale inside of the container from POSIX to en_US.UTF-8 using docker-compose's environment section:

environment:
  ...
  - "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8"
  - "LANG=en_US.UTF-8"
  - "LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8"
  ...

It would be lovely if an active maintainer could actually implement the locale setting directly into the Dockerfile, so that this has not to be done manually afterwards and to prevent a lot of confusion.

@kurzdev do you want to PR this small change?
I mean in the Dockerfile, not the compose.

[kurzdev]

@pierreozoux Sure, do you want me to just edit the template Dockerfiles or the Dockerfiles for versions 19.0, 20.0 and 21.0 as well?

[kurzdev]

I implemented @QuAzI's method of doing things as it seems more appropriate for the general public to not set the locale more specific than it has to be. As I stated in the pull request, this works only on debian-based images.

[pierreozoux]

Thanks a lot @kurzdev :)

@ricardojlrufino did docker-library/php#1187 fix your issue?

[erdoukki]

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 LANG=C.UTF-8

Old tweak (good to know, thanks @QuAzI #721 (comment)
Will try on my linuxserver.io dockerized NextCloud on ARM64 OpenWrt...

EDIT:
Tested and fixed for me ! THANKS

I have the same problem, but I cant fix it editing my env.

Here is my Compose:

version: '2'

volumes:
  nextcloud:
  db:

services:
  db:
    image: yobasystems/alpine-mariadb:latest
    restart: always
    command: --transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED --log-bin=binlog --binlog-format=ROW
    volumes:
      - db:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=HerePassword
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=HerePassword
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud

  app:
    image: nextcloud
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    links:
      - db
    volumes:
      - nextcloud:/var/www/html
      - /media/raid/nextcloud/:/var/www/html/data
    environment:
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_HOST=db

I dont know how to fix it, I have it in OMV6 running on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I already set the locale.gen to de_DE.UTF-8, also the intl_defaults in php.ini. Still not able to sync files with ä ö ü characters in it.
