\n\n# RabbitMQ Cluster Operator Helm Chart\n\nThe RabbitMQ Cluster Kubernetes Operator automates provisioning, management, and operations of RabbitMQ clusters running on Kubernetes. The RabbitMQ Cluster Operator Helm chart automates deployment and configuration of the RabbitMQ Cluster Operator in Kubernetes clusters using Minimus images.\n\n\n## {{icon-list-search}} Prerequisites\n\n- A subscription to the Minimus images included in the chart\n- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.19 or higher is recommended)\n- `kubectl` installed and configured\n- Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support ([Installation instructions](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/))\n- Cluster Admin privileges\n\n**Note**: The RabbitMQ Cluster Operator installs Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for RabbitmqCluster resources. These CRDs are installed automatically as part of the Helm chart deployment and require Cluster Admin privileges.\n\n

\n\n---\n\n

\n\n## {{icon-rocket}}Try It Out\n\nIn this example we will deploy the RabbitMQ Cluster Operator on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus RabbitMQ Cluster Operator Helm chart. The operator will enable you to declaratively create and manage RabbitMQ clusters using Kubernetes custom resources.\n\n

\n\n### Step 1: Start Cluster\n\n

\n\nIf you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. [Deployment instructions](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/?arch=%2Flinux%2Fx86-64%2Fstable%2Fbinary+download)\n\n

\n\n### Step 2: Create Namespace\n\n

\n\nCreate a namespace:\n\n```\nkubectl create ns rabbitmq-cluster-operator\n```\n\n{{if-enterprise}}\n\nNext, create a Kubernetes secret for the Minimus token:\n\n```\nkubectl create secret docker-registry minimus-registry \\\n --docker-server=reg.mini.dev \\\n --docker-username=minimus \\\n --docker-password={{pull-token}} \\\n --namespace=rabbitmq-cluster-operator\n```\n\n{{/if-enterprise}}\n\n

\n\n### Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart\n\n

\n\nDeploy the Minimus Helm chart:\n\n```\nhelm install my-rabbitmq-cluster-operator {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -n rabbitmq-cluster-operator \\\n --wait\n```\n\nIf 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`:\n\n```\nhelm install my-rabbitmq-cluster-operator {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -f values.yaml \\\n -n rabbitmq-cluster-operator \\\n --wait\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 4: Verify RabbitMQ Cluster Operator is Running\n\n

\n\nConfirm the chart deployed successfully and the operators started:\n\n```\nkubectl get pods -n rabbitmq-cluster-operator\n```\n\nYou should see output similar to:\n\n```\nNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE\nmy-rabbitmq-cluster-operator-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m\nmy-rabbitmq-cluster-operator-msgTopologyOperator-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 5: Test RabbitMQ Cluster Provisioning\n\n

\n\nCreate a minimal RabbitmqCluster custom resource to verify the operator is working:\n\n```\ncat <\n\n### Step 6: Clean Up\n\n\n\nUninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:\n\n```\nhelm uninstall my-rabbitmq-cluster-operator -n rabbitmq-cluster-operator\nkubectl delete namespace rabbitmq-cluster-operator\n```\n\n

\n\n# RabbitMQ Advanced Helm Chart\n\nRabbitMQ is an open source general-purpose message broker that is designed for consistent, highly-available messaging scenarios (both synchronous and asynchronous). The RabbitMQ Advanced Helm chart automates deployment and configuration of RabbitMQ in Kubernetes clusters using Minimus images with hardened security and production-grade configuration.\n\n\n## {{icon-list-search}} Prerequisites\n\n- A subscription to the Minimus images included in the chart\n- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)\n- `kubectl` installed and configured\n- Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support ([Installation instructions](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/))\n- Cluster Admin privileges\n- Persistent storage available in your cluster\n\n

\n\n---\n\n

\n\n## {{icon-rocket}}Try It Out\n\nIn 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.\n\n

\n\n### Step 1: Start Cluster\n\n

\n\n### Step 2: Create Namespace\n\n

\n\nCreate a namespace:\n\n```\nkubectl create ns rabbitmq-advanced\n```\n\n{{if-enterprise}}\n\nNext, create a Kubernetes secret for the Minimus token:\n\n```\nkubectl create secret docker-registry minimus-registry \\\n --docker-server=reg.mini.dev \\\n --docker-username=minimus \\\n --docker-password={{pull-token}} \\\n --namespace=rabbitmq-advanced\n```\n\n{{/if-enterprise}}\n\n

\n\n### Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart\n\n

\n\nDeploy the Minimus Helm chart:\n\n```\nhelm install my-rabbitmq-advanced {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -n rabbitmq-advanced \\\n --wait\n```\n\nIf 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`:\n\n```\nhelm install my-rabbitmq-advanced {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -f values.yaml \\\n -n rabbitmq-advanced \\\n --wait\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 4: Verify RabbitMQ Advanced is Running\n\n

\n\nConfirm the chart deployed successfully and RabbitMQ started:\n\n```\nkubectl get pods -n rabbitmq-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rabbitmq\n```\n\nYou should see output similar to:\n\n```\nNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE\nmy-rabbitmq-advanced-rabbitmq-0 1/1 Running 0 2m\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 5: Test Message Round-Trip\n\n

\n\nGet the RabbitMQ password from the Kubernetes secret:\n\n```\nexport RABBITMQ_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret -n rabbitmq-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rabbitmq -o jsonpath='{.items[0].data.rabbitmq-password}' | base64 -d)\n```\n\nForward the RabbitMQ management port to your workstation:\n\n```\nkubectl port-forward -n rabbitmq-advanced svc/my-rabbitmq-advanced-rabbitmq 15672:15672\n```\n\nIn a separate terminal, declare a queue, publish a message, and consume it:\n\n```\ncurl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X PUT \\\n http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2F/test-queue \\\n -H \"content-type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"durable\":false}'\n\ncurl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X POST \\\n http://localhost:15672/api/exchanges/%2F/amq.default/publish \\\n -H \"content-type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"properties\":{},\"routing_key\":\"test-queue\",\"payload\":\"hello\",\"payload_encoding\":\"string\"}'\n\ncurl -s -u user:$RABBITMQ_PASSWORD -X POST \\\n http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2F/test-queue/get \\\n -H \"content-type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"count\":1,\"ackmode\":\"ack_requeue_false\",\"encoding\":\"auto\"}'\n```\n\nYou should see output containing `\"payload\":\"hello\"` confirming the message round-trip.\n\n

\n\n### Step 6: Clean Up\n\n

\n\nUninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:\n\n```bash\nhelm uninstall my-rabbitmq-advanced -n rabbitmq-advanced\nkubectl delete namespace rabbitmq-advanced\n```\n\n
