Changing locale/charset
I created a 10.1 cluster on Debian using UTF8.
I’d like to convert it to LATIN1, but am having various issues. So, it’s probably easiest to start again (I have a dump of the DB).
To ensure I get it right, what is the correct way to create a cluster with LATIN1 encoding, how to remove the existing cluster and how to ensure I have the right settings for LOCALE etc. in the OS?
Cheers.

pg_lsclusters
pg_dropcluster VERSION NAME
pg_createcluster VERSION NAME --locale=xx_XX
where xx_XX is chosen by you. You previous cluster probably had a
locale of xx_XX.utf8, so it had the UTF8 encoding.

Assuming you are using the Debian pg_ctlcluster command see 'Changing
Debian default installation' in below:
