Locales

This Ansible role manages the system locale configuration by deploying locale.gen and locale.conf, then generating the requested locales.

Description

  • Copies your locale.gen template to /etc/locale.gen
  • Copies your locale.conf template to /etc/locale.conf
  • Runs locale-gen to generate and activate configured locales

Overview

  1. Template deployment
    • locale.gen: uncomment or specify the locales you need
    • locale.conf: sets LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables
  2. Locale generation
    • Executes the locale-gen command (requires privilege escalation)
  3. Idempotency
    • Templates are only reapplied if changed
    • locale-gen only re-runs when the template changes

Features

  • Full control over uncommented locales in locale.gen
  • Simple override via templates in your role directory
  • Works on any system supporting locale-gen
