locale shows:

LANG=
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=

as localectl does not work
how to set it as utf-8

Confirm this. On Centos 7 lxc container locale service doesn't work.
Localectl command report time out error
some part of messages error log:

I'm trying to run SABnzbd inside a CentOS7 LXC and hitting this problem. Thought I had it sorted by adding the following:

echo "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
echo "export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
source /etc/profile.d/locale.sh

Now when I do a

locale

it comes up as UTF-8 but SABnzbd still fails as the preferred encoding is still ANSI_X3.4-1968 for some reason.
