Rabbitmqctl couldn't connect to local node

[AlexPCRus]

Hi!

I use docker-compose to setup rabbitmq service:

    rabbitmq1:
        image: rabbitmq:3-management
        hostname: rabbitmq1
        restart: always
        environment:
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=rmuser
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=rmpassword
            - RABBITMQ_SERVER_ADDITIONAL_ERL_ARGS=-rabbit disk_free_limit 2147483648
            - RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE=SUPER1SECRET1COOKIE
            - RABBITMQ_NODENAME=master
        volumes:
            - ./rabbitmq:/var/lib/rabbitmq
        ports:
            - 15672:15672
            - 5672:5672
        command: ["bash", "-c", "chmod 400 /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie; rabbitmq-server"]
        networks:
            - myrabbitmq

When i run a container and /bin/bash into it, every use of rabbitmqctl returns an error:
"Unable to perform an operation on node master@rabbitmq1" even "rabbitmqctl status".

Why rabbitmqctl couldn't connect to local node in management image? Is there another CLI way to tune rabbitmq into container?

What is the complete command(s) you are running to execute rabbitmqctl as well as the full output? I don't want to have to guess.

Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to initialize a node with a default virtual host and a user specified in environment variables (RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER, RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS) before the node loads definitions from a definitions file (management.load_definitions in rabbitmq.conf)? I want to load only policies when the node is startup, but the definition file must contain a user credential too in this case.

[lukebakken]

I would recommend using the definitions file for everything.

[AlexPCRus]

Thanks again. I will follow your recommendation. Is it enough to export definitions if I want to create a backup of all node settings?

[lukebakken]

That will back up all of the internal "things" in RabbitMQ like users, vhosts, queue declarations, etc. It won't back up settings configured externally (like rabbitmq.conf).

Note that I can't reproduce what you report. Here is a repository with what I tried:

https://github.com/lukebakken/docker-library_rabbitmq-599

Note that the README includes instructions for starting the project and running rabbitmqctl
