BUG: Docker CE windows 2.2.0 fails to run rabbitmq with volume mapping

Docker Engine General
1

To reproduce, create a folder called c:\docker_test_volume (or any folder on a volume that is enabled for sharing with Docker).

Run: docker run --rm -it -v c:\docker_test_volume:/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia rabbitmq

The following error results:

>docker run --rm -it -v c:\docker_test_volume:/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia rabbitmq

This does NOT happen with v2.1.0.5.

Anyone with the same experience?

I am having the same experience.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hi,

having the same issue, spent a day trying to figure out why I couldn’t get RabbitMQ to work nicely on Windows.

version: '3.3'

services:
    rabbitmq:
        container_name: rabbitmq
        image: 'rabbitmq:3-management'
        ports:
            - '5672:5672'
            - '8080:15672'
        environment:
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=guest
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=guest
        volumes:
            - 'c:\rabbitmq-data:/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia'
        restart: always
        privileged: true

Above is the docker-compose file we’re using, can be used as a test if needed.

[EDIT]
I see that a new version has been released, 2.2.0.3, seems to have a couple of fixes for volumes, going to try that now.

[EDIT2]
Still has the issue.

[EDIT]
Downgrading docker version sorts it out

choco uninstall docker-desktop
choco install docker-desktop --version=2.1.0.5 -y
# start up docker, go to settings > shared drives > tick share C drive
#cd to project
docker-compose up -d
