RabbitMQ is an open source multi-protocol messaging broker. Running rabbitmq-server starts a RabbitMQ node in the foreground. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install RabbitMQ on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest RabbitMQ v4.0.3 release.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 3

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it rabbitmq. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 4

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

In the Name field type in rabbitmq. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

version: '3.9'
services:
  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:management
    container_name: RabbitMQ
    mem_limit: 2g
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    restart: on-failure:5
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/rabbitmq:/var/lib/rabbitmq:rw
    environment:
      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=marius
      - RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=mariushosting
    ports:
      - 5672:5672
      - 15672:15672

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER and type in your own username. marius is an example for a username. You will need this password later at STEP 9.
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS and type in your own username. mariushosting is an example for a password. You will need this password later at STEP 9.

• STEP 6

Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.

• STEP 7

If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.

• STEP 8

Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂.

• STEP 9

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:15672 In the Username and Password field type in your own Username and Password that you have previously added at STEP 5 then click Login. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 10
