Welcome @fabvil! I’ve edited your post a bit so hopefully someone familiar with the dynflow proxy will be able to assist :slight_smile:

I was having the same issue and found that the issue was related to the following:

opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/smart_proxy_dynflow_core-0.2.2/smart_proxy_dynflow_core.gemspec

The following line contains an accent which apparently is causing some issues:

gem.authors       = ['Ivan Nečas']

Changing the line to the following fixed this for me:

  gem.authors       = ['Ivan Necas']

I thought it could be related to the locale or so but it seems to be setup correctly:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

The locale can be set using various scripts which are sourced when you log in, but not when the service is started. What does the output of localectl say?

5 
# localectl

   System Locale: n/a

       VC Keymap: fr
      X11 Layout: n/a

The following fixes it:

# localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8
