Setting up Rabbit MQ Server
Here are some quick notes that I refer to when installing Rabbit MQ server on Linux.
Installation
Read and follow: https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html
Quickstart
Make sure the server is started:
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
Now switch to root with
sudo su
A lot of management utilities are only available to root, in /usr/sbin
Web GUI
If you like (I do!) enable the Web GUI on port 15672.
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
If the server is on localhost, you can login with guest/guest
But it is best to create another admin user:
CLI
Create a user rmquser with password rmqpass
rabbitmqctl add_user rmquser rmqpass
Reference: https://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmqctl.8.html#User_Management
CLI command to add a new user and password
rabbitmqctl add_user username password
CLI command to make the user a administrator
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags username administrator
CLI command to set permissions for the user
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / username ".*" ".*" ".*"
Plugins
List the installed plugins:
rabbitmq-plugins list
