RabbitMQ container with Docker Compose

Docker Compose facilitates spinning up a container for the RabbitMQ broker without installing it locally.

Prerequisites

• Docker Compose installed

Configuration

The following configuration spins up the RabbitMQ container with the management UI tool.

The connection string for the RabbitMQ broker with local virtual host is amqp://localhost:5672/local.

RabbitMQ management UI is available at the http://localhost:15672 link. Default credentials are guest as username and guest as password.

# docker-compose.yml

version: '3.8'



services:

  rabbitmq:

    image: rabbitmq:3-management

    ports:

      - 5672:5672

      - 15672:15672

    environment:

      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST=local

    volumes:

      - 'rabbitmq_data:/data'



volumes:

  rabbitmq_data:

Run the following command to spin up the container.
