(In reply to Theo Chatzimichos from comment #5) > the problem is not happening any more on 42.2, feel free to close the ticket Slightly late (sorry just started using 42.2 for on the rabbitmq-server host) but I am still facing the same issue on 42.2 mainly because the socket still listens on 127.0.0.1 https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:languages:erlang:Factory/erlang/epmd.socket?expand=1 I don't see where upstream defaults to localhost. Marcus where is that? I still see the recommended service file to be https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/1b0096a925ba56af16d4776713a5c8e9593c587a/docs/rabbitmq-server.service.example why can't we have the same?
