NAME
/etc/default/rabbitmq - default settings for RabbitMQ AMQP server
DESCRIPTION
/etc/default/rabbitmq contains variable settings that override the
defaults built in to the RabbitMQ startup scripts.
The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a
sequence of shell environment variable definitions. Normal shell syntax
is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator),
including line comments starting with "#".
In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the
environment, from /etc/default/rabbitmq, and finally from the built-in
default values. For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting,
RABBITMQ_NODENAME
from the environment is checked first. If it is absent or equal
to the empty string, then
NODENAME
from /etc/default/rabbitmq is checked next. If it is also absent
or set equal to the empty string, then the default value from the
startup script is used.
The variable names in /etc/default/rabbitmq are always equal to the
environment variable names, with the RABBITMQ_ prefix removed:
RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in the
/etc/default/rabbitmq file, etc.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a complete /etc/default/rabbitmq file
that overrides the default Erlang node name from "rabbit" to "hare":
# I am a complete /etc/default/rabbitmq file.
# Comment lines start with a hash character.
# This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
NODENAME=hare
