+Also of note, Alpine-based variants starting with Postgres 15 support [ICU locales](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/locale.html#id-1.6.11.3.7). Previous Postgres versions based on alpine do *not* support locales; see ["Character sets and locale" in the musl documentation](https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc.html#Character-sets-and-locale) for more details.

+You can set locales in the Alpine-based images with `POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS` to set a different locale. The following example will set the default locale for a newly initialized database to `de_DE.utf8`:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```console
|
|
|
+$ docker run -d -e LANG=de_DE.utf8 -e POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS="--locale-provider=icu --icu-locale=de-DE" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword %%IMAGE%%:15-alpine
|
