Changing locale in app.yml doesn't install discourse

installation
1

I’m trying to setup discourse with local language. Before doing that I just want to launch a sample droplet with some locale other than en.US.UTF-8

I have changed locale in app.yml

LANG: cs_CZ.UTF-8
DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: cs

And I have setup locale on Ubuntu

sudo locale-gen cs_CZ.UTF-8

Set locale, this generates also the /etc/default/locale file.

update-locale LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8

but then I got this problem, launcher always exits with ERROR: Config name must not contain upper case characters, spaces or special characters. seeing this locale is a problem

Then I changed locale by exporting locale to en_US.UTF-8 commandline, now script works but then, It doesn’t pickup locale. I’m not sure what I’m missing here.

Please help with any pointers to how install discourse proper way in other different language

Here is the log

You can select the language in the setup wizard. Just do a simple install. No need to be heroic.
