Docker Container Crashing when embedding strings, please help!

[trekimann]

I didn't want to put this in an issue yet as it could just be something I am missing.
I have a python application I am writing for RAG. When I run it locally on my machine it works just fine but when I try to run it in a docker container it hard crashes giving me no logs as it does. I have dialled the issue down to when 'embed' is called. Surrounding it with a try-except is not preventing the crash.
In the container the generation capability works just fine so I can ask questions and get answers from the running model but when I try to use the embed capabilities ready to populate a vector database it dies hard.
I have tried:

• a few different models (a dolphin mistral and nomic embed text)
• using langchain community embedding
• using the direct 'embed' function
• using the 'create_embedding' function
• changing python versions (3.10.13 and 3.12.2)

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

The only logs I am getting are:
2024-03-26 11:23:51 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
2024-03-26 11:23:51 what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
