RabbitMQ is a message-broker software that helps you manage and send messages between different servers and applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing RabbitMQ on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we start, you need to have a few things set up on your Ubuntu server:
RabbitMQ runs on the Erlang Virtual Machine so we'll need to install it first. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install erlang
Verify the installation by running the following command:
erl -v
You should get an output that looks like this:
Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.3.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:1:1] [ds:1:1:10] [async-threads:1]
We need to add the RabbitMQ GPG key so that we can verify the packages before installing them. Run the following command:
wget -O- https://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Next, we need to add RabbitMQ repository to our Ubuntu system. Use the following command:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian focal erlang" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bintray.rabbitmq.list
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian focal main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bintray.rabbitmq.list
Before installing RabbitMQ, we must update the package index of our system by running:
sudo apt-get update
Now we can install RabbitMQ by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
During the installation process, RabbitMQ will start running as a service. You can verify it by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server.service
To start and enable RabbitMQ on Ubuntu Server Latest run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server.service
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server.service
To test RabbitMQ, open your web browser and then navigate to http://your-server-public-ip:15672, you should see the RabbitMQ web console login screen.
Use the default username and password as guest and guest respectively.
