dokku rabbitmq:list

print the most recent log(s) for this service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:logs <service> [-t|--tail] <tail-num-optional>

flags:

  • -t|--tail [<tail-num>]: do not stop when end of the logs are reached and wait for additional output

You can tail logs for a particular service:

dokku rabbitmq:logs lollipop

By default, logs will not be tailed, but you can do this with the --tail flag:

dokku rabbitmq:logs lollipop --tail

The default tail setting is to show all logs, but an initial count can also be specified:

dokku rabbitmq:logs lollipop --tail 5

link the rabbitmq service to the app

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:link <service> <app> [--link-flags...]

flags:

  • -a|--alias "BLUE_DATABASE": an alternative alias to use for linking to an app via environment variable
  • -q|--querystring "pool=5": ampersand delimited querystring arguments to append to the service link
  • -n|--no-restart "false": whether or not to restart the app on link (default: true)

A rabbitmq service can be linked to a container. This will use native docker links via the docker-options plugin. Here we link it to our playground app.

NOTE: this will restart your app

dokku rabbitmq:link lollipop playground

The following environment variables will be set automatically by docker (not on the app itself, so they won’t be listed when calling dokku config):

DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_NAME=/lollipop/DATABASE
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:5672
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_PORT_5672_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:5672
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_PORT_5672_TCP_PROTO=tcp
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_PORT_5672_TCP_PORT=5672
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_LOLLIPOP_PORT_5672_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1

The following will be set on the linked application by default:

RABBITMQ_URL=amqp://lollipop:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-lollipop:5672/lollipop

The host exposed here only works internally in docker containers. If you want your container to be reachable from outside, you should use the expose subcommand. Another service can be linked to your app:

dokku rabbitmq:link other_service playground

It is possible to change the protocol for RABBITMQ_URL by setting the environment variable RABBITMQ_DATABASE_SCHEME on the app. Doing so will after linking will cause the plugin to think the service is not linked, and we advise you to unlink before proceeding.

dokku config:set playground RABBITMQ_DATABASE_SCHEME=amqp2
dokku rabbitmq:link lollipop playground

This will cause RABBITMQ_URL to be set as:

amqp2://lollipop:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-lollipop:5672/lollipop

unlink the rabbitmq service from the app

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:unlink <service> <app>

flags:

  • -n|--no-restart "false": whether or not to restart the app on unlink (default: true)

You can unlink a rabbitmq service:

NOTE: this will restart your app and unset related environment variables

dokku rabbitmq:unlink lollipop playground

set or clear a property for a service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:set <service> <key> <value>

Set the network to attach after the service container is started:

dokku rabbitmq:set lollipop post-create-network custom-network

Set multiple networks:

dokku rabbitmq:set lollipop post-create-network custom-network,other-network

Unset the post-create-network value:

dokku rabbitmq:set lollipop post-create-network

Service Lifecycle

The lifecycle of each service can be managed through the following commands:

enter or run a command in a running rabbitmq service container

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:enter <service>

A bash prompt can be opened against a running service. Filesystem changes will not be saved to disk.

NOTE: disconnecting from ssh while running this command may leave zombie processes due to moby/moby#9098

dokku rabbitmq:enter lollipop

You may also run a command directly against the service. Filesystem changes will not be saved to disk.

dokku rabbitmq:enter lollipop touch /tmp/test

expose a rabbitmq service on custom host:port if provided (random port on the 0.0.0.0 interface if otherwise unspecified)

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:expose <service> <ports...>

Expose the service on the service's normal ports, allowing access to it from the public interface (0.0.0.0):

dokku rabbitmq:expose lollipop 5672 4369 35197 15672

Expose the service on the service's normal ports, with the first on a specified ip adddress (127.0.0.1):

dokku rabbitmq:expose lollipop 127.0.0.1:5672 4369 35197 15672

unexpose a previously exposed rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:unexpose <service>

Unexpose the service, removing access to it from the public interface (0.0.0.0):

dokku rabbitmq:unexpose lollipop

promote service as RABBITMQ_URL in 

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:promote <service> <app>

If you have a rabbitmq service linked to an app and try to link another rabbitmq service another link environment variable will be generated automatically:

DOKKU_RABBITMQ_BLUE_URL=amqp://other_service:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-other-service:5672/other_service

You can promote the new service to be the primary one:

NOTE: this will restart your app

dokku rabbitmq:promote other_service playground

This will replace RABBITMQ_URL with the url from other_service and generate another environment variable to hold the previous value if necessary. You could end up with the following for example:

RABBITMQ_URL=amqp://other_service:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-other-service:5672/other_service
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_BLUE_URL=amqp://other_service:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-other-service:5672/other_service
DOKKU_RABBITMQ_SILVER_URL=amqp://lollipop:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-rabbitmq-lollipop:5672/lollipop

start a previously stopped rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:start <service>

Start the service:

dokku rabbitmq:start lollipop

stop a running rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:stop <service>

Stop the service and removes the running container:

dokku rabbitmq:stop lollipop

pause a running rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:pause <service>

Pause the running container for the service:

dokku rabbitmq:pause lollipop

graceful shutdown and restart of the rabbitmq service container

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:restart <service>

Restart the service:

dokku rabbitmq:restart lollipop

upgrade service to the specified versions

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:upgrade <service> [--upgrade-flags...]

flags:

  • -c|--config-options "--args --go=here": extra arguments to pass to the container create command (default: None)
  • -C|--custom-env "USER=alpha;HOST=beta": semi-colon delimited environment variables to start the service with
  • -i|--image IMAGE: the image name to start the service with
  • -I|--image-version IMAGE_VERSION: the image version to start the service with
  • -N|--initial-network INITIAL_NETWORK: the initial network to attach the service to
  • -P|--post-create-network NETWORKS: a comma-separated list of networks to attach the service container to after service creation
  • -R|--restart-apps "true": whether or not to force an app restart (default: false)
  • -S|--post-start-network NETWORKS: a comma-separated list of networks to attach the service container to after service start
  • -s|--shm-size SHM_SIZE: override shared memory size for rabbitmq docker container

You can upgrade an existing service to a new image or image-version:

dokku rabbitmq:upgrade lollipop

Service Automation

Service scripting can be executed using the following commands:

list all rabbitmq service links for a given app

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:app-links <app>

List all rabbitmq services that are linked to the playground app.

dokku rabbitmq:app-links playground

check if the rabbitmq service exists

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:exists <service>

Here we check if the lollipop rabbitmq service exists.

dokku rabbitmq:exists lollipop

check if the rabbitmq service is linked to an app

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:linked <service> <app>

Here we check if the lollipop rabbitmq service is linked to the playground app.

dokku rabbitmq:linked lollipop playground

list all apps linked to the rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:links <service>

List all apps linked to the lollipop rabbitmq service.

dokku rabbitmq:links lollipop

Backups

Datastore backups are supported via AWS S3 and S3 compatible services like minio.

You may skip the backup-auth step if your dokku install is running within EC2 and has access to the bucket via an IAM profile. In that case, use the --use-iam option with the backup command.

Backups can be performed using the backup commands:

set GPG Public Key encryption for all future backups of rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:backup-set-public-key-encryption <service> <public-key-id>

Set the GPG Public Key for encrypting backups:

dokku rabbitmq:backup-set-public-key-encryption lollipop

unset GPG Public Key encryption for future backups of the rabbitmq service

# usage
dokku rabbitmq:backup-unset-public-key-encryption <service>

Unset the GPG Public Key encryption for backups:

dokku rabbitmq:backup-unset-public-key-encryption lollipop

Disabling docker image pull calls

If you wish to disable the docker image pull calls that the plugin triggers, you may set the RABBITMQ_DISABLE_PULL environment variable to true. Once disabled, you will need to pull the service image you wish to deploy as shown in the stderr output.

Please ensure the proper images are in place when docker image pull is disabled.
