My container **taiga-docker-taiga-async-rabbitmq-1** keeps crashing with no explanation.

```auto

I do notice that there’s a high CPU usage when restarting the container

The other RabbitMQ container (taiga-docker-taiga-events-rabbitmq-1) also fails.

```auto

I’ve tried the steps from [this thread](https://community.taiga.io/t/running-into-errors-while-installing-on-docker-amd64/1100/14) and these commands, specifically:

```auto
docker compose rm taiga-docker-taiga-async-rabbitmq 
docker volume rm taiga-docker_taiga-async-rabbitmq-data
docker compose rm taiga-docker-taiga-events-rabbitmq 
docker volume rm taiga-docker_taiga-events-rabbitmq-data

```

I’ve made sure that I’m pulling the latest images as of November 25, 2023. Any solutions or can anyone point me as to why my RabbitMQ containers keep failing?

Also, I’m using [the default script for launching Taiga](https://github.com/kaleidos-ventures/taiga-docker/blob/main/launch-taiga.sh). And I’m using the default erlang cookie `RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE=secret-erlang-cookie`.

Also worth noting: the image I’m using for RabbitMQ is  
`rabbitmq:3.8-management-alpine `

Solution:

Changing the image to:  
`rabbitmq:3.11-management-alpine`

from  
`rabbitmq:3.8-management-alpine`

Fixed everything. Someone should change that dependency in the docker-compose file.

Hi @Dartegnian

Sometimes, if configuration changes are made after the rábitmq container volumes have been created, there can be problems because they are no longer compatible with the new changes. In these cases, it is recommended to delete the volumes and relaunch them after making the changes.

We updated the docker images a few days ago and with version 3.8 they continued to work without any problem.

However, it is very interesting to know that Taiga also works with rabbitmq “out of the box”. So we will take this into consideration for future versions of our taiga-docker repository.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

Best regards.
