Description

This is a cookbook for managing RabbitMQ with Chef. It uses the default settings, but can also be configured via attributes.

Recipes

default

Installs rabbitmq-server from RabbitMQ.com's APT repository or the RPM directly (there is no yum repo). The distribution-provided versions were quite old and newer features were needed.

Cluster recipe is now combined with default. Recipe will now auto-cluster. Set the :cluster attribute to true, :cluster_disk_nodes array of node@host strings that describe which you want to be disk nodes and then set an alphanumeric string for the :erlang_cookie.

To enable SSL turn :ssl to true and set the paths to your cacert, cert and key files.

Resources/Providers

There are 2 LWRPs for interacting with RabbitMQ.

user

Adds and deletes users, fairly simplistic permissions management.

• :add adds a user with a password
• :delete deletes a user
• :set_permissions sets the permissions for a user, vhost is optional
• :clear_permissions clears the permissions for a user

Examples

rabbitmq_user "guest" do
  action :delete
end

rabbitmq_user "nova" do
  password "sekret"
  action :add
end

rabbitmq_user "nova" do
  vhost "/nova"
  permissions "\".*\" \".*\" \".*\""
  action :set_permissions
end

vhost

Adds and deletes vhosts.

• :add adds a vhost
• :delete deletes a vhost

Example

rabbitmq_vhost "/nova" do
  action :add
end

Limitations

For an already running cluster, these actions still require manual intervention:

• changing the :erlang_cookie
• turning :cluster from true to false

The rabbitmq::chef recipe was only used for the chef-server cookbook and has been moved to chef-server::rabbitmq.
