Installing RabbitMQ

Method 1: From Ubuntu APT package source (Not recommended)

The following way of installing RabbitMQ is not recommended as it will not install the latest versions:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install rabbitmq-server
rabbitmqctl --version
sudo rabbitmqctl --version

You can remove it with the following:

sudo apt remove rabbitmq-server

---

Method 2: Install the latest version from the documentation (Preferred way)

Since RabbitMQ uses libssl1.1 we shall install it first so that you won't face any errors in the next steps

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

Now we can proceed with the RabbitMQ installation procedure, the following steps are copy-pasted from the documentation which can be found at https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#apt-cloudsmith

sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https -y

## Update package indices

                        erlang-syntax-tools erlang-tftp erlang-tools erlang-xmerl

## Install rabbitmq-server and its dependencies
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server -y --fix-missing

Install Essential Dependencies

    
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install curl gnupg -y

Enable apt HTTPS Transport

In order for apt to be able to download RabbitMQ and Erlang packages from services such as PackageCloud, Cloudsmith.io or Launchpad, the apt-transport-https package must be installed:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Add Repository Signing Keys

Cloudsmith signs distributed packages using their own GPG keys, one per repository.

In order to use the repositories, their signing keys must be added to the system. This will enable apt to trust packages signed by that key.

sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https -y

## Team RabbitMQ's main signing key
curl -1sLf "https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/0A9AF2115F4687BD29803A206B73A36E6026DFCA" | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/com.rabbitmq.team.gpg > /dev/null

curl -1sLf https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/gpg.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.key | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/io.cloudsmith.rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg > /dev/null
## Cloudsmith: RabbitMQ repository

Add a Source List File

As with all 3rd party apt repositories, a file describing the RabbitMQ and Erlang package repositories must be placed under the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list is the recommended location.

The file should have a source (repository) definition line that uses the following pattern:

## Provides modern Erlang/OTP releases
##
## Replace $distribution with the name of the Ubuntu release used.
## On Debian, "deb/ubuntu" should be replaced with "deb/debian"
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/io.cloudsmith.rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg] https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu $distribution main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/io.cloudsmith.rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg]  https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu $distribution main

## Provides RabbitMQ
##
## Replace $distribution with the name of the Ubuntu release used.
## On Debian, "deb/ubuntu" should be replaced with "deb/debian"
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/io.cloudsmith.rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu $distribution main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/io.cloudsmith.rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu $distribution main

Check the RabbitMQ service status

sudo service rabbitmq-server status

---

Creating User

By default guest users will only work in localhost so let's create a user so that we can log in from RabbitMQ Management tool.

#Username Password
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user stackcoderuser StackCoderPassword
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags stackcoderuser administrator
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / stackcoderuser ".*" ".*" ".*"

---

RabbitMQ Management GUI

RabbitMQ Server runs on Port 5672 and RabbitMQ Management GUI runs on Port 15672

List RabbitMQ Plugins

To check the list of available plugin list we can use the following command

sudo rabbitmq-plugins list

Install Management Plugin

Now let us enable RabbitMQ Management UI with the following command

sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
