NAME

     rabbitmq-server — starts a RabbitMQ node

SYNOPSIS

     rabbitmq-server [-detached]

DESCRIPTION

     RabbitMQ is an open source multi-protocol messaging broker.

     Running rabbitmq-server starts a RabbitMQ node in the foreground. The node will display a
     startup banner and report when startup is complete.  To shut down the server, use service
     management tools or rabbitmqctl(8).

ENVIRONMENT

     RABBITMQ_CONFIG_FILE
             Defaults to /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf.  Node configuration file path.  To learn
             more, see the RabbitMQ Configuration guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html

     RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
             Defaults to /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia.  Node data directory will be located (or
             created) in this directory.  To learn more, see the RabbitMQ File and Directory
             guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/relocate.html

     RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE
             Defaults to /var/log/rabbitmq.  Log files generated by the server will be placed in
             this directory.  To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Logging guide:
             https://www.rabbitmq.com/logging.html

     RABBITMQ_NODENAME
             Defaults to "rabbit@".  followed by the computed hostname.  Can be used to run
             multiple nodes on the same host.  Every node in a cluster must have a unique
             RABBITMQ_NODENAME To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Clustering guide:
             https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html

     RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
             By default RabbitMQ will bind to all IPv6 and IPv4 interfaces available.  This
             variable limits the node to one network interface or address family.  To learn more,
             see the RabbitMQ Networking guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html

     RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
             AMQP 0-9-1 and AMQP 1.0 port. Defaults to 5672.  To learn more, see the RabbitMQ
             Networking guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html

OPTIONS

     -detached
             Start the server process in the background.  Note that this will cause the pid not
             to be written to the pid file.

             For example, runs RabbitMQ AMQP server in the background:

                   rabbitmq-server -detached
