Base docker image to run a RabbitMQ server
To create the image tutum/rabbitmq, execute the following command on the tutum-rabbitmq folder:
sudo docker build -t tutum/rabbitmq .
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:
rabbitmqadmin -u admin -p 5elsT6KtjrqV -H <host> -P <port> list 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:
rabbitmqadmin -u admin -p 5elsT6KtjrqV -P 15672 list vhosts
Done!
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:
rabbitmqadmin -u admin -p mypass -P 15672 list vhosts
