Starting a RabbitMQ container

In your terminal, execute the following:

$ docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 --name rabbitmq rabbitmq 

This will start a RabbitMQ container with the following setup:

• -d: Specifies we want to run the container in daemon mode (background process).
• -p: Allows us to expose ports 5672 and 15672 on the container to our local machine. These are needed for Nameko to communicate with RabbitMQ.
• --name: Sets the container name to rabbitmq.

You can check that your new RabbitMQ container is running by executing:

$ docker ps
