Mongo fails to start due to file system issues

[warren-gallagher]

I tried your wonderful container. I did the following:

1. ssh in
2. cd /apps
3. meteor create --example todos
4. cd todos
5. meteor

I got the following output:
root@meteor:/apps/todos# meteor
[[[[[ /apps/todos ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Can't start Mongo server.
MongoDB had an unspecified uncaught exception.
This can be caused by MongoDB being unable to write to a local database.
Check that you have permissions to write to .meteor/local. MongoDB does
not support filesystems like NFS that do not allow file locking.

Does there need to be a volume mapping from the docker host into the container?

I was able to get things to work by executing:
export LC_ALL="C.UTF-8"
prior to executing
meteor

It would appear that the ubuntu image I was basing my image on does not have any locales installed other than:
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

I was also able to get things working by executing:
locale-gen $LANG
