How to Install RabbitMQ on OpenSUSE Latest

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker software that provides reliable message queuing and effective messaging between various applications. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install RabbitMQ on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update your System

Before installing any new package, it's essential to update your system's packages to ensure you have the latest versions available. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo zypper update

This command will update all the packages installed on your system to their latest versions.

Step 2: Add the RabbitMQ Repository

RabbitMQ isn't available in the default OpenSUSE repositories, so we need to add the official RabbitMQ repository. Run the following command to add the repository:

sudo zypper ar https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/suse/15.1 rabbitmq

Step 3: Import the RabbitMQ Signing Key

Now that we've added the RabbitMQ repository, we need to import their signing key. This key is used to verify the integrity of the packages we install from the RabbitMQ repository. Run the following command:

sudo rpm --import https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-signing-key-pub.gpg

Step 4: Install RabbitMQ Server

Now we can finally install the RabbitMQ Server. Use the following command to install it:

sudo zypper install rabbitmq-server

RabbitMQ will be downloaded and installed from the official repository.

Step 5: Start RabbitMQ Server

After the installation is complete, we need to start the RabbitMQ server. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server

Step 6: Enable RabbitMQ Server

To ensure that RabbitMQ starts automatically at system boot, we need to enable it. Run the following command to enable RabbitMQ:

sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server

Step 7: Check the Status of RabbitMQ Server

To check the status of the RabbitMQ service, run the following command:

sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server

If the service is running, you should see output similar to the following:

● rabbitmq-server.service - RabbitMQ broker
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rabbitmq-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
