I recently moved my comics to a linux server running OMV (Debian)
I installed via docker (see forum post).

When updating my library it won't recognize albums or folders with german special characters like "äöüß" in it.
On macOS this never was a problem.

Is there any way to change this behavior?

Many thanks, Timm

Please run "locale" in a terminal and paste the output here.

I have filed a bug with the provider of the Docker container:

github.com/josetesan/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker/issues/2

Thanks for reporting this.
Sorry for replying this late, but I didn't receive a notification on the topic. Have to check my profile, I guess.
I'll try the new container as soon as I can

The locale looks fine. I have the same on my machine and no problems with special characters in YACReader. The issue is probably the locale in the container or the older version of YACReaderLibraryServer.

Hello,

I'm running YWCReaderserver on a QNAP container and currently facing the same issue. Running "locale" in the container terminal give me the following result :

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

I've tried to change it, but I was not successful (my knowledge using containers is too limited for now). Any help to fix it will be higly appreciated.

Regards,

I reported this to the author of the docker container, but I don't think he got it working. I'm currently busy preparing the .deb and .rpm packages for YACReader 9.5.0, but once that is done I will have another look at the problem. Maybe we can work something out.

Here's a workaround:
Code:
$ docker exec -it yacserver /bin/bash $ export LC_ALL=C.UTF8 $ YACReaderLibraryServer update-library /comics $ exit

After this all comics should be available in the library. If this works for you I will get in touch with josetsan/muallin to enable it by default.
