Flower (Celery) Dies on Fresh Project

See original GitHub issue

After configuring my cookiecutter project and running docker-compose up -d as specified, everything starts EXCEPT for the flower service, which prints the following message:

ERROR: for flower  Cannot start service flower: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:370: starting container process caused: exec: "--broker=amqp://guest@queue:5672//": stat --broker=amqp://guest@queue:5672//: no such file or directory: unknown

Cursory internet searches make me think that this is using the wrong broker address? Looking at my rabbitmq server (which - by the way - I had no idea I had to install and only inferred from the above internet search) logs, it appears that my broker is running at rabbit@localhost:

2021-07-21 16:38:29.034 [info] <0.44.0> Application rabbitmq_management_agent started on node rabbit@localhost
*more logs...*

However, changing occurrences of guest@queue to rabbit@localhost doesn’t fix the error.

Side note: I have no prior experience working with Celery, and am honestly confused as to why it’s included in this stack - would love to be enlightened.

This problem is related to the v1.0 release of Flower. I’m not quite sure what Flower changed but it’s based to set the image version explicitly to a version that’s working. In my case, I set the flower image to flower:0.9.7 since this is the last version that still works for me.

Fixing version to 0.9.7 worked for me as well.
