Cluster RabbitMQ 🐰
There are a lots of good options if you want to run a RabbitMQ cluster in docker. Here's an solution that only rely on docker official images 🎉
The main benifit with this approach is that you can use any version of RabbitMQ, which is maintaied by docker and will be up-to-date with future releases.
Install
> git clone https://github.com/pardahlman/docker-rabbitmq-cluster.git
> cd docker-rabbitmq-cluster
> docker-compose up
Most things will be how you expect:
- The default username and password are
guest/guest - The broker accepts connections on
localhost:5672 - The Management interface is found at
localhost:15672
Customize
The .env file contains environment variables that can be used to change the default username, password and virtual host.
HA Proxy
This docker-compose.yml file comes with the latest version of HA Proxy, an open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and proxy server.
It should be fairly easy to add a port mapping for the individual containers if it is desired to connect to a specific broker node.
