Next Steps RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that enables distributed applications to communicate through message queues, decoupling producers and consumers across services. This guide installs RabbitMQ on Ubuntu 26.04, enables the management plugin, creates an admin user, and secures the web dashboard with Nginx and a Let's Encrypt certificate. By the end, you'll have RabbitMQ running with a secure management interface accessible over HTTPS. RabbitMQ is available in Ubuntu 26.04's default APT repository. 1. Update the APT package index: 2. Install Erlang and RabbitMQ: What you just installed: 3. Verify the installed version: Enable RabbitMQ to start automatically when the server boots. 1. Enable and start the service: 2. Check the service status: 3. Stop or restart the service when needed: 1. Enable the management plugin: 2. Create an admin user: 3. Grant the user administrator permissions: 4. Set resource permissions for the default virtual host: The three permission patterns grant configure, write, and read access on all resources in the / virtual host. The RabbitMQ management interface listens on port 15672. Proxy it through Nginx on port 80. 2. Enable and start Nginx: 3. Create the reverse proxy configuration: 4. Enable the site and reload Nginx: 1. Install Certbot with the Nginx plugin: 2. Generate and install the certificate: Certbot updates the Nginx configuration to redirect HTTP to HTTPS automatically. 3. Test the auto-renewal timer: Open https://rabbitmq.example.com in a browser and log in with the admin credentials you created. The management interface shows queues, exchanges, connections, and message rates. RabbitMQ is now running with a secured management interface.
