eacces is UNIX speak for "does not have the permissions". So the node does not have the permissions to create /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie.

@biggbuddy please, do not paste a giant wall of text. Save errors and output to files and attach them to GitHub issues.

The permissions on the /mnt/ssd/docker/rabbitmq directory do not allow RabbitMQ to create a file. There's no need to run RabbitMQ using the --privileged flag. Ensure that the /mnt/ssd/docker/rabbitmq directory is either world-writable, or writable by user and group with id 999:

chown -R 999:999 /mnt/ssd/docker/rabbitmq

If uid/gid 999 is already in use on your host system, use the --user argument to specify a specific user and group that has permissions to that directory on your host system.

@tianon this issue can be closed or converted to a discussion.

The docs also have a section about this https://github.com/docker-library/docs/tree/master/rabbitmq#erlang-cookie
