I am attempting to test the functionality of RabbitMQ and Bunny in my local environment as a proof of concept. We are currently using Beaneater/Beanstalk and wishing to change. I am using vagrant for my local environment but cant seem to find a suitable VM.
Can anyone point me in the direct of a good tutorial which gives step by step instruction as the multitude I have attempted all seem to take different approaches.
have you considered docker, instead?
I used to do vagrant and other types of virtual machines for services I need, but now I'm using docker for just about everything like this.
Download and install docker from http://docker.com (get the latest Docker for Mac, Docker for Windows, or Docker Engine for linux - not the "docker toolbox" that they link to on the homepage)
Once you have docker installed, you can download rabbitmq image, and create a container:
docker pull rabbitmq:management
docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 --name rmq rabbitmq:management
now when you need rabbitmq running, you just do this:
docker start rmqand when you don't need it running:
docker stop rmqYou can access RMQ through localhost with the port forwarding that this setup, for both rabbitmq clients and the web management interface.
more information about this docker image for rabbitmq is found here: https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq/
