Rabbitmq

RabbitMQ is an open source message broker software that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

Based on the Bitnami RabbitMQ image for docker, this Chart bootstraps a RabbitMQ deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm Classic.

Persistence

You may skip this section if your only interested in testing the Joomla Chart and have not yet made the decision to use it for your production workloads.

For persistence of the RabbitMQ configuration, mount a storage volume at the /bitnami/rabbitmq path of the RabbitMQ pod.

By default the RabbitMQ Chart mounts an emptyDir volume.

Configuration

To edit the default RabbitMQ configuration, run

$ helmc edit rabbitmq

Here you can update the RabbitMQ admin username and password in tpl/values.toml. When not specified, the default values are used.

Refer to the Environment variables](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-rabbitmq/#environment-variables) section of the Bitnami RabbitMQ image for the default values.

Tip: If you have issues running the above command, add se autochdir to your ~/.vimrc profile or simply edit ~/.helmc/workspace/charts/rabbitmq/tpl/values.toml in your favourite editor.

Finally, generate the chart to apply your changes to the configuration.

$ helmc generate --force rabbitmq

Access your RabbitMQ server

You should now be able to access the manager interface using the external IP configured for the RabbitMQ service.

Note:

On GKE, the service will automatically configure a firewall rule so that the RabbitMQ instance is accessible from the internet, for which you will be charged additionally.

On other cloud platforms you may have to setup a firewall rule manually. Please refer your cloud providers documentation.

Get the external IP address of your RabbitMQ instance using:

$ kubectl get services rabbitmq
NAME      CLUSTER_IP      EXTERNAL_IP       PORT(S)      AGE
rabbitmq  10.63.246.116   146.148.20.117    15672/TCP    15m

Access your RabbitMQ deployment using the IP address listed under the EXTERNAL_IP column.

The default credentials are:

• Username: user
• Password: bitnami

Cleanup

To delete the RabbitMQ deployment completely:

$ helmc uninstall -n default rabbitmq
