How to open rabbitmq in browser using docker container?

This was probably asked already, but so far I can't find any detailed explanation at all, and the existing documentation seems as if it was written for some kind on psychic who supposed to know everything.

As per this manual, I added the container

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit rabbitmq:latest

Then I checked it to receive the container ip

docker inspect some-rabbit

Checked ports with

docker ps

And tried to connect in the browser with this formula

https://{container-ip}:{port}

It did't work.

Am I'm doing something wrong, or maybe I am supposed to add something additional, like a container for apache or other stuff?

EDIT

As I understand, after creating some-rabbit container, now I need to run Dockerfile to create image? (This whole thing is confusing to me). How am I supposed to do that? I mean, I saw command docker build -f /path/to/a/Dockerfile but if for example I placed the Dockerfile in second path D:\Docker\rabbitmq, how I supposed to get there? (the path doesn't seems to be recognized)

You are using the wrong image which doesn't have the rabbitmq_management plugin enabled. Change rabbitmq:latest to rabbitmq:management.

On dockerhub they are using the command:

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit rabbitmq:3-management

If you want to go to the UI on localhost:15672 make sure to expose the port by adding -p 15672:15672 to the above command.

The management image is just the rabbitmq latest image with the management plugin enabled. Here is the dockerfile for rabbitmq:management

FROM rabbitmq

RUN rabbitmq-plugins enable --offline rabbitmq_management

EXPOSE 15671 15672

First off, you need the management image (eg. rabbitmq:3-management) to access it through the browser. If your docker is running locally, then you should be able to access it by navigating to http://localhost:{port} or http://127.0.0.1:{port} (15672 by default).

Here is an example of a simple docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
 rabbitmq:
    image: "rabbitmq:3-management"
    ports:
      - "5672:5672"
      - "15672:15672"
    volumes:
      - 'rabbitmq_data:/data'

volumes:
  rabbitmq_data:

After starting the container, Rabbitmq is now accessible at http://127.0.0.1:15672. The default username and password should be guest:guest. More details here.

Better to expose all three ports (5672, 5673, 15672).

docker run -d --name some-rabbit -p 5672:5672 -p 5673:5673 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management  

Then you may browse, http://localhost:15672/ with the credentials "guest" for both the username and the password.

if you launched rabbitmq by using somthing like:

docker run -d --name some-rabbit -p 4369:4369 -p 5671:5671 -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq

then you can enable its management plugins while that container runs using the following command:

docker container exec -it some-rabbit rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

and the management GUI is running on http://localhost:15672 For management GUI

username: guest

password: guest

The compose would be like

version: '3'
services:
  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:management
    ports:
      - '5672:5672'
      - '15672:15672'
    volumes:
      - rabbitmq_data

Instead of http://localhost:15672 you would want to use the ip that your docker instance is running on. On windows run:

ipconfig

Use the ip address as highlighted below: [![enter image description here][1]][1]

Then try http://10.0.75.1:{your-rabbitmq-port} [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6d0jy.png

I use the following command And in that I defined the username and password I also exposed ports 5673 and 15673 You need to enter your username and password

docker run -d --name same-rabbit \
--hostname my-rabbit \
-e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=USERNAME \
-e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=PASSWORD \
-v /home/USER/rabbitmq/:/var/lib/rabbitmq \
-p 5673:5672 \
-p 15673:15672 \
rabbitmq:management

You can also use the following docker compose

version: '3.3'
services:
    rabbitmq:
        container_name: same-rabbit
        environment:
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=USERNAME
            - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=PASSWORD
        volumes:
            - '/home/USER/rabbitmq/:/var/lib/rabbitmq'
        ports:
            - '5673:5672'
            - '15673:15672'
        image: 'rabbitmq:management'

FROM rabbitmq:3.8-management
RUN rabbitmq-plugins enable --offline rabbitmq_mqtt rabbitmq_federation_management rabbitmq_stomp
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
ENV RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE: 'secret cookie here'
VOLUME ~/.docker-conf/rabbitmq/data/:/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/
EXPOSE 5672 15672

1. docker build . -t rabbit-mq
2. docker run -it -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbit-mq

In my case I could access the UI of RabbitMQ for several days but some day it suddenly stop working and I can't access it anymore.

After some investigation the source of this problem was found. It was the main service of docker that somehow stopped.

So if you could access the UI and after some time you couldn't, go to your task manager and search for Docker.Service to see if it is running, as you can see in the below picture.

If you don't see it, you should run it manually. In my case I have it on my desktop it is called "Docker for Windows".

I see some useful answer, but none as mentioned how to access the server (rabbitmq) using container's ip-address. For people looking for this solution...

• Make sure you have your rabbitmq image running on a container run: docker inspect
• [container-id] and scroll down to find the container's ip-address.
• add routing to contain's ip-address see `<

Please try with version 3, also the article below works on me after giving painstaking trials with 3.8

With Java you may use the lib Testcontainers RabbitMQ Module. An example to bootstrap using Scala:

  val rabbitMQContainer = new RabbitMQContainer("rabbitmq:management")
  rabbitMQContainer.start()
  if (os == "mac os x") Process(s"open ${rabbitMQContainer.getHttpUrl}").! 

and then login with guest:guest
