rabbitmq-server.1(rabbitmq-server.1)

NAME
rabbitmq-server - start RabbitMQ AMQP server

SYNOPSIS
rabbitmq-server [-detached]

DESCRIPTION
RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.

Running rabbitmq-server in the foreground displays a banner message, and reports on progress in the startup sequence, concluding with the message "broker running", indicating that the RabbitMQ broker has been started successfully. To shut down the server, just terminate the process or use rabbitmqctl(1).

ENVIRONMENT
RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
    Defaults to /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia. Set this to the directory
    where Mnesia database files should be placed.

RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE
    Defaults to /var/log/rabbitmq. Log files generated by the server
    will be placed in this directory.

RABBITMQ_NODENAME
    Defaults to rabbit. This can be useful if you want to run more
    than one node per machine - RABBITMQ_NODENAME should be unique
    per erlang-node-and-machine combination. See clustering on a
    single machine guide at
    http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html#single-machine for
    details.

RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
    Defaults to 0.0.0.0. This can be changed if you only want to bind
    to one network interface.

RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
    Defaults to 5672.

RABBITMQ_CLUSTER_CONFIG_FILE
    Defaults to /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq_cluster.config. If this file is
    present it is used by the server to auto-configure a RabbitMQ
    cluster.
    See the clustering guide at http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html
    for details.
