    For those out there googling, this same erlang cookie error can happen when you are missing the HOME parameter from your environment configuration. For example, on the default ArchLinux installation of rabbitmq.

    In this case, the service is started with systemctl start rabbitmq and it
    generates a cookie but the cli tools like rabbitmqctl status will not work out of the box because they do not know the home location.
