Integrate with RabbitMQ

Use Olares RabbitMQ middleware by declaring it in OlaresManifest.yaml, then mapping the injected values to your container environment variables.

Install RabbitMQ service

Install the RabbitMQ service from Market.

1. Open Market from Launchpad and search for "RabbitMQ".
2. Click Get, then Install, and wait for the installation to complete.

Once installed, the service and its connection details will appear in the Middleware list in Control Hub.

Configure OlaresManifest.yaml

In OlaresManifest.yaml, add the required middleware configuration.

• Use the username field to specify the RabbitMQ user.
• Use the vhosts field to request one or more virtual hosts (vhosts). Each vhost name is used as the key in .Values.rabbitmq.vhosts.

Example

middleware:
  rabbitmq:
    username: rabbitmquser
    vhosts:
      - name: aaa

Inject environment variables

In your deployment YAML, map the injected .Values.rabbitmq.* fields to the environment variables your app uses.

Example

containers:
  - name: my-app
    # For RabbitMQ, the corresponding values are as follows
    env:
      - name: RABBITMQ_HOST
        value: "{{ .Values.rabbitmq.host }}"

      - name: RABBITMQ_PORT
        value: "{{ .Values.rabbitmq.port }}"

      - name: RABBITMQ_USER
        value: "{{ .Values.rabbitmq.username }}"

      - name: RABBITMQ_PASSWORD
        value: "{{ .Values.rabbitmq.password }}"

      # Vhost
      # The vhost name configured in OlaresManifest (e.g., aaa)
      - name: RABBITMQ_VHOST
        value: "{{ .Values.rabbitmq.vhosts.aaa }}"

Construct a RabbitMQ connection URI

After configuring the environment variables, you can read them in your application code to construct the connection string.

Below is an example of constructing an AMQP URL using the environment variables:

// Read environment variables
user := os.Getenv("RABBITMQ_USER")
password := os.Getenv("RABBITMQ_PASSWORD")
vhost := os.Getenv("RABBITMQ_VHOST")
host := os.Getenv("RABBITMQ_HOST")
portMQ := os.Getenv("RABBITMQ_PORT")

// Construct AMQP connection string
// Format: amqp://user:password@host:port/vhost
url := fmt.Sprintf("amqp://%s:%s@%s:%s/%s", user, password, host, portMQ, vhost)

RabbitMQ Values reference

RabbitMQ Values are predefined environment variables injected into values.yaml during deployment. They are system-managed and not user-editable.

Key	Type	Description
.Values.rabbitmq.host	String	RabbitMQ service host
.Values.rabbitmq.port	Number	RabbitMQ service port
.Values.rabbitmq.username	String	RabbitMQ username
.Values.rabbitmq.password	String	RabbitMQ password
.Values.rabbitmq.vhosts	Map<String,String>	The requested vhost name is used as the key. For example, if you request aaa, the value is available at .Values.rabbitmq.vhosts.aaa.
