Set up RabbitMQ message-broker¶
RabbitMQ is an open-source message-broker software, used for sending and receiving messages using a queue in order to process them asynchronously.
1 Install¶
2 Enable plugins¶
Note: This step is needed only if you are using MacOS with MacPorts
2.1 If using MacOS with MacPorts¶
To enable web management UI, enable rabbitmq_management plugin by
executing on the command line:
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
3 Start¶
Since it’s not needed every project, and it takes up valuable system resources, it’s preferred to start RabbitMQ manually when needed.
3.1 Start manually (recommended)¶
3.1.2 If using MacOS with MacPorts¶
Execute on the command line:
sudo rabbitmq-server
The server will run in the foreground, and you can stop it when needed
with Control-C.
3.2 Start automatically¶
If wanted, you can also set it up to start automatically after a reboot.
3.2.1 If using MacOS with MacPorts¶
Execute on the command line:
sudo port load rabbitmq-server
To stop the server and prevent it from running after a reboot, execute:
sudo port unload rabbitmq-server
3.2.2 If using MacOS with Homebrew¶
Execute on the command line:
sudo brew services start rabbitmq
To stop the server and prevent it from running after a reboot, execute:
sudo brew services stop rabbitmq
4 Test¶
Test the server works by opening web management UI at http://localhost:15672.
Login into the UI with user guest and password guest.
5 Configure in a project¶
If you need to configure it for a project, API will be available at
http://localhost:5672 with the same credentials as mentioned above:
user guest and password guest.
