In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Apache ActiveMQ on your POP! OS machine. Apache ActiveMQ is a powerful and open-source messaging and integration middleware platform that provides queue-based messaging, publish-subscribe messaging, and Point-To-Point Messaging (P2P).
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your POP! OS machine:
First, navigate to the official Apache ActiveMQ website and select the latest version for your operating system from the download page. You can also use the following wget command to download the latest version directly from the command line:
$ wget https://downloads.apache.org/activemq/5.16.0/apache-activemq-5.16.0-bin.tar.gz
Make sure to replace 5.16.0 with the specific version number that you want to download.
Next, extract the downloaded package using the following command:
$ tar -xvzf apache-activemq-5.16.0-bin.tar.gz
This will extract the package to a folder with the name "apache-activemq-5.16.0".
Inside the extracted folder, navigate to the "bin" directory and start the ActiveMQ server using the following command:
$ ./activemq start
By default, ActiveMQ runs on port 61616 for the OpenWire protocol and 8161 for the web console. You can access the web console from your browser using the URL:
http://localhost:8161/admin/
Make sure to replace localhost with the IP address of your machine if you are accessing the console from a remote machine.
To stop the ActiveMQ server, navigate to the "bin" directory and run the following command:
$ ./activemq stop
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Apache ActiveMQ on your POP! OS machine. You can now use this powerful messaging platform to build your messaging and integration requirements.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
