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 ..

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 commented 4 years ago

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

c-goes commented 4 years ago

You could also add build args like this https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/7398#issuecomment-678543836

or use my PR https://github.com/geerlingguy/docker-ubuntu2004-ansible/pull/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:

Potentially related, I came across this bug in the ubuntu image recently: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1899343
