Setting up RabbitMQ with Docker

Here are the detail steps to configure rabbitmq in browser using docker container.

Step 1: Install docker.

Step 2: Enter the below command to configure the rabbitmq on docker.

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit -p 8080:15672 -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=username -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=password rabbitmq:3-management

• docker run: This command tells Docker to run a new container based on a specified image.
• -d: This flag runs the container in detached mode, meaning it runs in the background.
• –hostname my-rabbit: This flag sets the hostname of the container to “my-rabbit”.
• –name some-rabbit: This flag assigns the name “some-rabbit” to the container.
• -p 8080:15672: This flag maps port 15672 from the container to port 8080 on the host system. Port 15672 is used by the RabbitMQ management UI, so this mapping allows accessing the management UI from a web browser on port 8080 of the host machine.
• -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=username: This flag sets the default username for accessing RabbitMQ to “username”. This is used for authentication when accessing the RabbitMQ management UI.
• -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=password: This flag sets the default password for accessing RabbitMQ to “password”. Like the username, this is used for authentication when accessing the RabbitMQ management UI.
• rabbitmq:3-management: This specifies the Docker image to use for running the container. In this case, it’s the RabbitMQ image tagged with “3-management”, which includes the RabbitMQ server along with the management plugin for the UI.

Step 3: Know the running containers on the docker enter the below command.

docker ps

Step 4: To know the port is opened or not in the host, enter the below command.

netstat -tulnp | grep 8080

A messaging program called RabbitMQ serves as a message broker or mediator between several software components. Think of it as an intelligent messenger that makes sure messages are reliably and effectively conveyed from one area of your application to another.

Support for numerous messaging protocols, including AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) and MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), is one of RabbitMQ’s main advantages. Because of its adaptability, developers can use RabbitMQ for a wide range of applications and communication requirements.

RabbitMQ makes sure that messages are safely stored and sent once everything is back up and running, even if certain portions of your system are temporarily unavailable. Second, RabbitMQ has good scalability. Without compromising performance, RabbitMQ can accommodate an increase in load as your application expands and processes more data. Finally, RabbitMQ offers adaptability. Whether you are developing software of any kind, including online and mobile applications, RabbitMQ can help you integrate and communicate among many components with ease.
