Before Zulip 4.9, the Zulip install process left any already-installed
rabbitmq with whatever nodename it had previously configured. Wince
this encodes the name of the host when it was installed, this does not
function well with containers.
Leave rabbitmq-server uninstalled, which lets the Zulip installation
process set the nodename to `localhost`, which ensures that it is
usable across container restarts.
The production CI image starts `rabbitmq-server` but does not stop it,
which leaves a stale `/var/run/rabbitmq/pid` file in the image.
`rabbitmqctl wait --timeout 600 /var/run/rabbitmq/pid`, which is run
after starting the rabbitmq node, reads the PID file and waits for the
PID to be running, and for rabbitmq's port to be responding to pings.
If it reads an old PID file before the new PID is written, it
aborts (all but the first and last lines are output from `rabbitmqctl
wait` that is hidden by `/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server`):
```
* Starting RabbitMQ Messaging Server rabbitmq-server
Waiting for pid file '/var/run/rabbitmq/pid' to appear
pid is 341
Waiting for erlang distribution on node 'rabbit@fc8f64d6acdb' while OS process '341' is running
Error:
process_not_running
* FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_\{log, _err\}
```
If it failed, the `production-upgrade` script tried to start
`rabbitmq` again -- despite it already still starting in the
background. These two attempts conflicted, and often one or both
failed.
Stop `rabbitmq-server` when building the image, which removes the
stale PID file.
