RabbitMQ Example with Python

Purpose

This project demonstrates how to set up and use RabbitMQ with Python. It includes examples of how to connect to RabbitMQ, publish messages to a queue, and consume messages from a queue. The project also uses Docker to manage RabbitMQ in a containerized environment.

Requirements

To run this project, you will need the following:

• Python 3.8+
• Docker
• Docker Compose
• RabbitMQ

Setup

Activate the virtual environment

1. Create the virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows:

     .venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS/Linux:

     source .venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies

1. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the Docker container

1. Build and run the RabbitMQ container using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

Start the RabbitMQ server

1. Run the main script to start the RabbitMQ server:

   python main.py

Publish a message

1. Run the publisher script to publish a test message:

   python publisher.py

Note

The RabbitMQ management console can be accessed at http://localhost:15672.
