[yidasanqian]

cmd:
docker run -d --hostname rabbit1 --name rabbit1 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 -e RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE='rabbitcookie' rabbitmq:latest
stdout:
docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/etc/localtime': mkdir /etc/localtime: file exists.

Not sure why you're encountering that error, are you using Docker for Mac/Win?

$ docker run --rm -d --hostname rabbit1 --name rabbit1 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 -e RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE='rabbitcookie' rabbitmq:latest

$ docker exec -it rabbit1 bash

exit

$ docker inspect rabbit1

@wglambert Using Version: Docker for Mac 18.09.1

There's an issue on Docker for Mac, also some workarounds in that thread https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2396#issuecomment-358118186

it is actually trying to mkdir the directory on the MacOS side. As an aside this works perfectly in Ubuntu 16.04 with the latest docker, so it looks like a regression

Going to close since is a Docker for Mac issue
