Unable to create custom Container GW 11 image using the steps in the documentation

Issue/Introduction

When using the  API gateway documentation to create a derived image.

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-api-management/api-gateway/congw-11-0/install-configure-upgrade/configuring-the-container-gateway/customize-the-container-gateway.html

to create a customize container image there is a problem with the localedef command .

RUN localedef -c -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 --quiet

This command is not working in the container gateway platform and the build process fails.

Environment

Gateway 11.x container image

Resolution

This is  a issue due to a missing library on the redhat UBI image which we use for the container gateway .

Install the required glib-langpack-XX while building the container.

If the requirement is to set the default locale as en_US.utf8, then install the package glibc-langpack-en.

Example:

FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal:8.1
RUN microdnf install glibc-langpack-en; sed -i 's/^LANG=.*/LANG="en_US.utf8"/' /etc/locale.conf
set ENV LANG=en_US.utf8

Note: For UBI 8 image (not minimal), use yum/dnf command instead of microdnf command.

To find all the available langpack, execute the command yum search glibc-langpack'. With UBI 8 repos, onlyglibc-langpack-en` is shipped.

So to find all the available packages, execute yum search on a registered RHEL node.
