How to Install RabbitMQ on Ubuntu 24.10

To install RabbitMQ on Ubuntu 24.10, follow these steps:

Step 1 : First, update your system packages to ensure everything is up to date:

sudo apt update -y

Step 2 : Install the required dependencies and tools:

sudo apt install software-properties-common curl apt-transport-https lsb-release -y

Step 3 : RabbitMQ requires Erlang to be installed. To add the Erlang repository, run the following commands:

## 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
## Community mirror of Cloudsmith: modern Erlang repository
curl -1sLf https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/3.0/cloudsmith.rabbitmq-erlang.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.key | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg > /dev/null
## Community mirror of Cloudsmith: RabbitMQ repository
curl -1sLf https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/3.0/cloudsmith.rabbitmq-server.9F4587F226208342.key | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg > /dev/null

Step 4 : Update the repository information to include Erlang:

sudo apt update

Step 5 : Now, install Erlang packages:

sudo apt-get install -y erlang-base \
                        erlang-asn1 erlang-crypto erlang-eldap erlang-ftp erlang-inets \
                        erlang-mnesia erlang-os-mon erlang-parsetools erlang-public-key \
                        erlang-runtime-tools erlang-snmp erlang-ssl \
                        erlang-syntax-tools erlang-tftp erlang-tools erlang-xmerl

Step 6 : To install RabbitMQ, first add the RabbitMQ repository:

## Add apt repositories maintained by Team RabbitMQ
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list <<EOF
## Provides modern Erlang/OTP releases
##
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg] https://ppa1.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu noble main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg] https://ppa1.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu noble main

# another mirror for redundancy
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg] https://ppa2.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu noble main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.gpg] https://ppa2.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/deb/ubuntu noble main

## Provides RabbitMQ
##
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://ppa1.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu noble main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://ppa1.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu noble main

# another mirror for redundancy
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://ppa2.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu noble main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/rabbitmq.9F4587F226208342.gpg] https://ppa2.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu noble main
EOF

Then, install RabbitMQ:

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server -y --fix-missing

Step 7 : After installation, start the RabbitMQ service:

sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server

Step 8 : Enable RabbitMQ to start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server

Step 9 : Verify the RabbitMQ service is running:

sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server

Step 10 : To enable the RabbitMQ management plugin, run:

sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Step 11 : Restart the RabbitMQ service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart rabbitmq-server

Step 12 : To create an administrative user for RabbitMQ, use the following command:

sudo rabbitmqctl add_user admin your_password
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags admin administrator
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / admin ".*" ".*" ".*"

Step 13 : If you are using UFW, allow RabbitMQ's default ports:

sudo ufw allow 5672,15672/tcp

Step 14 : You can now access the RabbitMQ management interface by navigating to:

http://<your_ip>:15672

Login with the admin user and password you created.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured RabbitMQ on your Ubuntu 24.10 system!
