Rabbitmq doesn't start with docker-compose

I'm sorry to bump this one up a year later, but I've just ran into the same problem, so I hope it helps someone anyway :)

TL;DR Using the rabbitmq:3-management-alpine image instead of rabbitmq:3-management solved this for me.

Here is my docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.9"
services:
  my-rabbit:
    image: rabbitmq:3-management-alpine
    container_name: my-rabbit
    hostname: my-rabbit-host
    ports:
      - "15672:15672"
      - "5672:5672"
    volumes:
      - "./rabbitdata:/var/lib/rabbitmq"

After running docker compose --detach the management plugin interface and the broker itself become available at http://localhost:15672 (tcp localhost:5672 for broker)

The long story

Using rabbitmq:3-management image with docker-compose.yml produces the following output in docker logs:

The output stops after the last line

01 19:20:07.852760+00:00 [noti] <0.299.0> WAL: ra_log_wal init, open tbls: ra_log_open_mem_tables, closed tbls: ra_log_closed_mem_tables

and neither broker nor management plugin are available.

However, after running the following command (using the same arguments as in docker-compose.yml)

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit-host -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 --name my-rabbit -v rabbitdata:/var/lib/rabbitmq rabbitmq:3-management

the log actually looks quite different:

One might notice, that the server is actually started, and after that both broker and management UI become accessible!

Now, if we change the image in docker-compose.yml from rabbitmq:3-management to rabbitmq:3-management-alpine (see TL;DR example) and run docker compose up --detach, the log output looks pretty much like it was with docker run ... rabbitmq:3-management, and, once again, both broker interface and the management plugin interface work just fine at localhost using ports 5672 and 15672 respectively.

Please wait for while sometime rabbitmq take times to start up try this working for me

version: "3"

services:

  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3-management
    command: rabbitmq-server
    expose:
      - 5672
      - 15672
    healthcheck:
      test: [ "CMD", "nc", "-z", "localhost", "5672" ]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 15s
      retries: 1

  worker:
    image: worker
    restart: on-failure
    depends_on:
      - rabbitmq

Running RabbitMQ using docker-compose.yml is quiet simple

docker-compose.yml

version: '2'
services:
  rabbit:
    image: rabbitmq:3.7.2-management
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST: rabbitmq-host
    ports:
      - 5672:5672
      - 15672:15672

you can simply start the docker compose file by using the command

docker-compose up

wait for 30 seconds and hit http://localhost:15672/ in you browser. You can use guest as both default username and password. You can find a sample Spring Boot RabbitMQ example in the below GitHub
