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.
2 Enable plugins¶
To enable web management UI, enable rabbitmq_management plugin by
executing on the command line with sudo:
sudo 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)¶
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.
You can also start it as a service:
sudo service rabbitmq-server start
Other service commands are also available:
sudo service rabbitmq-server status
sudo service rabbitmq-server stop
sudo service rabbitmq-server restart
3.2 Start automatically¶
If wanted, you can also set it up to start automatically after a reboot.
Execute on the command line:
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
To stop the server and prevent it from running after a reboot, execute:
sudo systemctl disable rabbitmq-server
To check if the server is enabled to run after a reboot, execute:
sudo systemctl is-enabled rabbitmq-server
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.
