Description

This docker-compose file allows you to create an rabbitmq cluster for local development or testing

It uses the official rabbitmq docker image 🚀

* Note on features

The default version is the rabbitmq version 3.8.1 because of its SAC capability, namely having multiple consumers on one particular queue but with only one active at a time.

The compose file is setup with sane defaults that you can change (.env file), and the bash script + advanced.config with the added modifications for the cluster configuration:

• ha policy (mirroring of queues on all nodes)
• pause minority as the partition handling strategy (because s*** happens 🔥 and you need to be prepared)

General Instructions

Just clone this repo, and run the following commands:

chmod +x ./create_cluster.sh

docker-compose up -d && ./create_cluster.sh
or
docker-compose up 
./create_cluster.sh

The bash script joins the slave nodes to the cluster and it just needs to run once ⚠️, on every other usage just run the compose file.

My intent was not to change the original rabbitmq docker image, but just boost it a little to create a practical rabbitmq cluster.

Tested on macOS Sierra (version 10.12.6) and Ubuntu/Kubuntu 18

docker version 19.03.8/11
docker-compose 1.22.0/1.25.5
