Deploy RabbitMQ Server for VCD

Install Using a Cloudsmith Mirror Yum Repository

A Yum repository with RabbitMQ packages is available from Cloudsmith and a mirror of the repositories there.

Install RabbitMQ and Cloudsmith Signing Keys

Yum will verify signatures of any packages it installs, therefore the first step in the process is to import the signing key

## primary RabbitMQ signing key
rpm --import 'https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/3.0/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc'

## modern Erlang repository
rpm --import 'https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/3.0/cloudsmith.rabbitmq-erlang.E495BB49CC4BBE5B.key'

## RabbitMQ server repository
rpm --import 'https://github.com/rabbitmq/signing-keys/releases/download/3.0/cloudsmith.rabbitmq-server.9F4587F226208342.key'

Add Yum Repositories for RabbitMQ and Modern Erlang

In order to use the Yum repository, a .repo file (e.g. rabbitmq.repo) has to be added under the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

# In /etc/yum.repos.d/rabbitmq.repo

##
## Zero dependency Erlang RPM

Install Packages with dnf (yum)

Update package metadata:

dnf update -y

Next install dependencies from the standard repositories:

## install these dependencies from standard OS repositories
dnf install socat logrotate -y

Finally, install modern Erlang and RabbitMQ:

## install RabbitMQ and zero dependency Erlang
dnf install -y erlang rabbitmq-server

Install NFS server

dnf install -y nfs-utils
mkdir /vcd-01-nfs
chmod -R 777 /vcd-01-nfs
systemctl enable nfs-server
