openshift-rabbitmq-cart

Openshift cartridge providing the RabbitMQ message broker. It does not yet support clustered setups, but ought to work in a scaled application.

Installation

This cartridge depends on Erlang being installed in the system. The reason is that the runtime environment is a bit too big to be possible to build or install as a cartridge without timeouts.

Ask your Openshift administrator to run this:

yum install erlang

On RHEL-based systems the EPEL repository must first be added: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse

Add the cartridge from github:

rhc cartridge add https://raw.github.com/commonsmachinery/openshift-rabbitmq-cart/master/metadata/manifest.yml -a MY_APP

Environment variables

These are relevant to applications and other gears:

OPENSHIFT_RABBITMQ_URI: Full amqp: URI, which is probably the only of these variables that you need to use.
OPENSHIFT_RABBITMQ_BROKER_HOST: Hostname or IP of the broker
OPENSHIFT_RABBITMQ_BROKER_PORT: Port the broker is listening on
OPENSHIFT_RABBITMQ_USERNAME: Admin account username
OPENSHIFT_RABBITMQ_PASSWORD: Admin account password
