RabbitMQ container with Docker Compose

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

Prerequisites

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.

docker-compose up
