I was looking for a reliable and fast open source MQ for my personnel cloud. Here is upto date documentation for installing RabbitMQ on Ubuntu
RabbitMQ is included in Debain and Ubuntu but is v3.2 while the latest available is v3.5. You need to update APT repositoty. Make sure you get 'stable' branch.
echo "deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list > /dev/null
sudo wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc
sudo apt-key add rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server -y
If there is an erlang already installed you might have to remove it manually sudo apt-get remove erlang-nox
Next you can check users, new 'rabbitmq' user would be added. Also if you do service --status-all, you should see rabbitmq-server service.
sudo service rabbitmq-server start | stop | restart
You can install management console on port 15672, default user is guest and passord is guest.
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_stomp
sudo service rabbitmq-server restart
You can monitor usage on command line using rabbitmqctl status. You can use web console if you do not like rabbitmqctl CLI.
sudo rabbitmqctl stop | restart | status
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user user_name password_for_this_user
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags user_name administrator
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / user_name ".*" ".*" ".*"
Delete guest user
sudo rabbitmqctl delete_user guest
