[rabbitmq-discuss] Error: cannot_discover_cluster: The nodes provided are either offline or not running

Erlang will load the cookie from $HOME/.erlang.cookie so if you don't put it there the runtime will assign a random cookie and create the file itself.

In this context, HOME variable belongs to the user running the program, i.e., rabbitmq.

Cheers
