Thanks to @XxInvictus for a better locale fix than what I had in mind :)

Guide

After the Dashboard installation (see Red Dashboard's documentation) you'll need to run a few commands not stated in the docs so that some python modules import properly. Run the following while in your Dashboard virtual enviroment:

Set proper dependency versions:

foo@bar:~$ python -m pip install "jinja2<3.1.0" werkzeug==2.0.3 flask==1.1.2 itsdangerous==2.0.1 requests==2.23.0 cryptography==3.3.2 websocket_client==0.57.0 waitress==1.4.3 rich==1.3.1 fuzzywuzzy==0.18.0 python-Levenshtein==0.12.0 flask-babel==1.0.0 pyjwt==1.7.1 appdirs==1.4.4

And the locale fix (This is for the latest Red install guides, you may need to change your python version or dashboard data directory in the command):

foo@bar:~$ cd reddashenv && grep -rl "no_NO" ./lib/python3.9/site-packages/reddash/ | xargs sed -i 's/no_NO/nb_NO/g' && mv ./lib/python3.9/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/no_NO ./lib/python3.9/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/nb_NO

For completeness, this is my full flow:

$ python -m venv /dashdata && source /dashdata/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
$ python -m pip install -U Red-Dashboard
$ python -m pip install -U "jinja2<3.1.0" werkzeug==2.0.3 flask==1.1.2 itsdangerous==2.0.1 requests==2.23.0 cryptography==3.2 websocket_client==0.57.0 waitress==1.4.3 rich==1.3.1 fuzzywuzzy==0.18.0 "python-Levenshtein==0.12.0" "flask-babel==1.0.0" pyjwt==1.7.1 appdirs==1.4.4
$ cd /dashdata && grep -rl "no_NO" ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/ | xargs sed -i 's/no_NO/nb_NO/g' && mv ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/no_NO ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/nb_NO

For completeness, this is my full flow:

$ python -m venv /dashdata && source /dashdata/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
$ python -m pip install -U Red-Dashboard
$ python -m pip install -U "jinja2<3.1.0" werkzeug==2.0.3 flask==1.1.2 itsdangerous==2.0.1 requests==2.23.0 cryptography==3.2 websocket_client==0.57.0 waitress==1.4.3 rich==1.3.1 fuzzywuzzy==0.18.0 "python-Levenshtein==0.12.0" "flask-babel==1.0.0" pyjwt==1.7.1 appdirs==1.4.4
$ cd /dashdata && grep -rl "no_NO" ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/ | xargs sed -i 's/no_NO/nb_NO/g' && mv ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/no_NO ./lib/python3.8/site-packages/reddash/app/translations/nb_NO

@XxInvictus I'll test this now and add it to the guide if it works :)

@XxInvictus Can confirm, your solution works way better than the one I had in mind. I'll chuck it in the gist now, thanks for your input!
