Try It Out
In this example we will deploy RabbitMQ on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus RabbitMQ Advanced Helm chart. You will get a production-ready message broker with the management plugin enabled out of the box.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns rabbitmq-advanced
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-rabbitmq-advanced oci://helm.mini.dev/rabbitmq-advanced \
--version 0.1.0 \
-n rabbitmq-advanced \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-rabbitmq-advanced oci://helm.mini.dev/rabbitmq-advanced \
--version 0.1.0 \
-f values.yaml \
-n rabbitmq-advanced \
--wait
Step 4: Verify RabbitMQ Advanced is Running
Confirm the chart deployed successfully and RabbitMQ started:
kubectl get pods -n rabbitmq-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rabbitmq
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-rabbitmq-advanced-rabbitmq-0 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Message Round-Trip
Get the RabbitMQ password from the Kubernetes secret:
export RABBITMQ_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret -n rabbitmq-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rabbitmq -o jsonpath='{.items[0].data.rabbitmq-password}' | base64 -d)
Forward the RabbitMQ management port to your workstation:
kubectl port-forward -n rabbitmq-advanced svc/my-rabbitmq-advanced-rabbitmq 15672:15672
In a separate terminal, declare a queue, publish a message, and consume it:
curl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X PUT \
http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2F/test-queue \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"durable":false}'
curl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X POST \
http://localhost:15672/api/exchanges/%2F/amq.default/publish \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"properties":{},"routing_key":"test-queue","payload":"hello","payload_encoding":"string"}'
curl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X POST \
http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2F/test-queue/get \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"count":1,"ackmode":"ack_requeue_false","encoding":"auto"}'
You should see output containing "payload":"hello" confirming the message round-trip.
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
helm uninstall my-rabbitmq-advanced -n rabbitmq-advanced
kubectl delete namespace rabbitmq-advanced
