RabbitMQ with Go tutorial

A simple RabbitMQ tutorial with Go

Run RabbitMQ

For this tutorial, we'll use RabbitMQ from a Docker image.

Pull the latest RabbitMQ image from the Docker Hub repository (Cf. https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq)

> docker pull rabbitmq

Run a detached instance of the RabbitMQ image ( named rabbitMQ-tutorial) listening on the default port of 5672 with default login/password guest/guest

> docker run -d --hostname rabbitmq-tutorial-hostname --name rabbitmq-tutorial -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq

To run an instance with others credentials

> docker run -d --hostname rabbitmq-tutorial-hostname --name rabbitmq-tutorial -p 5672:5672  \
  -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=user -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=password rabbitmq

Sending/Receiving messages
