Hello, just a quick message to report an error in the server installation procedure under Debian 13:
"localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8" no longer works (it doesn't work under Debian 13), you need to use "update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8" :D

Hi Vincent,

Indeed, Debian v13 has "deliberately" broken this command, which had been working for quite some time...

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/2102028

We'll look into how to handle this internally (we try to minimize differences between distributions in the command lines provided (otherwise it's difficult for the reader to follow, and difficult for the maintainer to keep up-to-date...)).

Thanks for reporting this,

Denis
