In the docker-compose.yml file it can be passed in the environment variables.

POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS: "--encoding=UTF-8"

 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'"

and variations thereof with no success.

Any suggestions on what I have missed?

Thank you.
