AMQP server: RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is an excellent low-level messaging server. You can use it with different technologies.

Requirements

You need PostgreSQL + Python

apt-get install postgresql python3
apt-get install python3-amqplib

Installation

Add repository

You must add a new repository for RabbitMQ.

• Even though the name is "testing" it's actually the latest stable version
• They use "testing" as this is not in the "main" Ubuntu repo yet.

[source: http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html]

vim /etc/apt/sources.list
<syntaxhighlight>


Add the new repository

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main

Add repo key

wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc
sudo apt-key add rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc

Update package list

sudo apt-get update

Binary installation

apt-get install rabbitmq-server amqp-tools

Enable plugins

Enable RabbitMQ command line client

rabbitmq-plugins enable amqp_client

Enable web console

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Restart server to take on your changes

service rabbitmq-server restart

Now you can access RabbitMQ using the default ports:

• Web console: TCP 15672, http://localhost:15672/
• AMQP Messages: TCP 5672

Create administration user

Create new user, replace rtd by your username.

rabbitmqctl add_user rtd  strong_password

rabbitmqctl set_user_tags rtd administrator
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / rtd ".*" ".*" ".*"

Remove default guest user

rabbitmqctl delete_user guest
