Cluster RabbitMQ (official docker image)

Cluster RabbitMQ 🐰

There are a lots of good options if you want to run a RabbitMQ cluster in docker. Here's an solution that only rely on docker official images 🎉

The main benifit with this approach is that you can use any version of RabbitMQ, which is maintaied by docker and will be up-to-date with future releases.

Install

> git clone https://github.com/pardahlman/docker-rabbitmq-cluster.git
> cd docker-rabbitmq-cluster
> docker-compose up

Most things will be how you expect:

• The default username and password are guest/guest
• The broker accepts connections on localhost:5672
• The Management interface is found at localhost:15672

Customize

The .env file contains environment variables that can be used to change the default username, password and virtual host.

HA Proxy

This docker-compose.yml file comes with the latest version of HA Proxy, an open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and proxy server.

It should be fairly easy to add a port mapping for the individual containers if it is desired to connect to a specific broker node.
