From the RabbitMQ website
RabbitMQ is the most widely deployed open source message broker.
Follow the common egg installation guide to install the egg on your Pterodactyl instance. When setting up a server, the latest RabbitMQ version will be used by default.
With pretty new and old versions of RabbitMQ, you might have to adjust the used Erlang version.
This can be archived by adjusting the version number of the used image (e. g. ghcr.io/pterodactyl/yolks:erlang_22 instead of ghcr.io/parkervcp/yolks:erlang_24).
The latest version as of now requires you to use atleast ghcr.io/pterodactyl/yolks:erlang_25
Configuring RabbitMQ in Pterodactyl is only possible using the config files. This means:
- Configure the server itself as normal using
/home/container/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf - Enable plugins using the plugin file located at
/home/container/etc/rabbitmq/enabled_plugins - Configure users and vhosts through a definitions.json
You can set the path to the used definitions.json using the load_definitions option in your config.
Note that RabbitMQ versions prior to 3.8.6 will require a properly configured management plugin to do so!
The easiest way to get a working definitions.json is to setup a local instance with the management plugin. You can configure your instance there and load the definitions as stated by uploading them.
By default, only listeners.tcp.default is configured to match your primary allocation.
If you want to expose some other port (e. g. the web management interface) you have to manually configure the
port in your rabbitmq.conf.
The egg should keep the etc folder when reinstalling, to prevent destroying the configuration by accident. Therefore a reinstallation with "latest" as the selected version can be used to update RabbitMQ.
If you want to reset the server completly, remove the etc directory manually before reinstalling.
