Docker image to run an out-of-the-box RabbitMQ server

tutum-docker-rabbitmq

Base docker image to run a RabbitMQ server

Usage

To create the image tutum/rabbitmq, execute the following command on the tutum-rabbitmq folder:

sudo docker build -t tutum/rabbitmq .

Running the RabbitMQ server

Run the following command to start rabbitmq:

docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 tutum/rabbitmq

The first time that you run your container, a new random password will be set. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You will see an output like the following:

========================================================================
You can now connect to this RabbitMQ server using, for example:

        curl --user admin:5elsT6KtjrqV  http://<host>:<port>/api/vhosts

Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
========================================================================

In this case, 5elsT6KtjrqV is the password set. You can then connect to RabbitMQ:

    curl --user admin:5elsT6KtjrqV  http://<host>:<port>/api/vhosts

Done!

Setting a specific password for the admin account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a randomly generated one, you can set the environment variable RABBITMQ_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -e RABBITMQ_PASS="mypass" tutum/rabbitmq

You can now test your new admin password:

    curl --user admin:mypass  http://<host>:<port>/api/vhosts

Running a RabbitMQ cluster

To run a cluster with all the DNS-Reachable Host, you have to set RABBITMQ_USE_LONGNAME and HOSTNAME on first server :

docker run -d \
 -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -p 35197:35197 -p 4369:4369 -p 25672:25672 \
 -e HOSTNAME=node1.host.io \
 -e RABBITMQ_USE_LONGNAME=true \
 tutum/rabbitmq

And add CLUSTER_WITH for the others nodes :

docker run -d \
 -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -p 35197:35197 -p 4369:4369 -p 25672:25672 \
 -e HOSTNAME=node2.host.io \
 -e RABBITMQ_USE_LONGNAME=true \
 -e CLUSTER_WITH=node1.host.io \
 tutum/rabbitmq
