Error connecting to AMQP broker: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 172.20.0.3:5672

Hi there, I get the error given in the title when I attempt to follow the instructions for pulling and running the container(s) using docker compose. I get the error whether or not I issue the compose up command as sudo or not.

I'm using Fedora 37.

Hello,

I find it odd that there is no log message related to the rabbitmq container. Can you please comment out everything in the docker-compose.yml file, except the rabbitmq service? I wonder why it didn't start.

This is frustrating :). I removed all services except rabbitMQ from the compose file, as you suggested. I've now tried many times to bring that container up. I've used the --remove-orphans flag and the --compatibility flag in various combinations. The orphans were removed ( i.e. the old containers containing the images removed from the compose file ). But of the many times I have run this command now, it has worked once. The terminal log is attached.

I notice that it appears to start an MQTT broker on the standard MQTT port. The host normally runs mosquitto on this port ( 1883 ). But killing mosquitto on the host does not appear to resolve the problem.

There appear to be no significantly helpful messages in the host system log ( attached, editted for relevance ) :

Frustrating indeed...
Honestly, I have no idea. Do you want to try it out with a later version of rabbitmq?

And, by the way, I had never seen it not starting at all.
