NAME

       rabbitmq-server - start RabbitMQ AMQP server

SYNOPSIS

       rabbitmq-server [-detached]

DESCRIPTION

       RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance
       enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an
       AMQP broker.

       Running rabbitmq-server in the foreground displays a banner message, and reports on
       progress in the startup sequence, concluding with the message "broker running", indicating
       that the RabbitMQ broker has been started successfully. To shut down the server, just
       terminate the process or use rabbitmqctl(1).

ENVIRONMENT

       RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
           Defaults to /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia. Set this to the directory where Mnesia database
           files should be placed.

       RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE
           Defaults to /var/log/rabbitmq. Log files generated by the server will be placed in
           this directory.

       RABBITMQ_NODENAME
           Defaults to rabbit. This can be useful if you want to run more than one node per
           machine - RABBITMQ_NODENAME should be unique per erlang-node-and-machine combination.
           See the clustering on a single machine guide[1] for details.

       RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
           By default RabbitMQ will bind to all interfaces, on IPv4 and IPv6 if available. Set
           this if you only want to bind to one network interface or address family.

       RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
           Defaults to 5672.

OPTIONS

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

SEE ALSO

       rabbitmq-env.conf(5) rabbitmqctl(1)

EXAMPLES

       rabbitmq-server -detached
