Image build asking for geographic area and timezone if using Podman #2

c-goes · 2020-08-13T12:23:49Z

Just tried building this image with rootless Podman and it asks for the area I live in and the timezone. I think it should build without asking questions.

That's strange; I have not seen this issue when following the instructions and just running docker build ..

Please select the geographic area in which you live. Subsequent configuration questions will narrow this down by presenting a list of
cities, representing the time zones in which they are located.

  2. America  4. Australia   6. Asia    8. Europe    10. Pacific  12. US

(at this point, it stopps building and asks for area)

Yeh I've just run into an issue with this and pytz.
For some reason the default timezone in /etc/timezone is set as /UTC (missing an area), as opposed to Etc/UTC in ubuntu 18.04

chrisjsewell · 2020-10-07T10:41:43Z

As at least a temporary fix, RUN echo "Etc/UTC" > /etc/timezone works

c-goes · 2020-10-08T12:08:20Z

You could also add build args like this containers/podman#7398 (comment)

or use my PR #3
But I've not yet found out which timezone is set with this. But it seems good practice to add DEBIAN_FRONTEND=nointeractive somewhere.

Fixed via #7 — thanks!

Very odd... now I'm getting this again after switching from ENV to ARG:
