UTF-8 Error in Docker Container based on Alpine Linux

[Programmierfreund]

I want to add duplicati-client as new layer on top of the official "nodered/node-red" image in docker hub. I know that there is no locale support of the underlying Alpine Linux. So I added musl-locales-master to my Dockerfile - hoping that this helps also for UTF-8. Unfortunately duplicati-client is still not working in this environment (see below). Does anyone has experience in running duplicati-client on Alpine?

Best regards

PS: On Ubuntu duplicati-client is working fine

I found a valid solution based on this article: https://www.howtosolutions.net/2019/04/python-fixing-unexpected-utf-8-bom-error-when-loading-json-data/ - easiest way ist described in step 4.

Before each r.json call I have to add r.encoding='utf-8-sig' in die program code. Maybe Pectojin can add this in the master code? Otherwise I can add a pull request.

I have the same problem. Even on ubuntu container. @Programmierfreund, Could you please share the fixed version?

I have now added two pull requests (unfortnately instead of one). You can see like I have adjusted duplicaty_client.py and auth.py.
