RabbitMQ isn't loading after starting the rabbitmq docker container

Question

I am trying to bring up the rabbitmq ui by pulling the image and then running it using docker

docker run --name rabbit-p -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq:latest

I even tried using docker compose. Below is my docker-compose.yaml file

version: '3'
services:
  messaging:
    image: "messaging-producer"
    ports: 
     - "7878:9876"
  rabbitmq:
    image: "rabbitmq:latest"
    ports: 
     - "15762:15762"
     - "5672:5672"

In both cases, it shows Server startup complete but when I try to hit http://localhost:15672/ it says This page isn’t working

When I ran the command for the first time it worked perfectly fine but after that it has stopped working.

Following is the log-

Answer 1

This work for me:

docker-compose.yml file

version: "3.8"

services:
  rabbitmq:
    container_name: rabbitmq
    image: "rabbitmq:3.8.9-management"
    volumes:
      - ./.docker/rabbitmq/etc/:/etc/rabbitmq/
      - ./.docker/rabbitmq/data/:/var/lib/rabbitmq/
      - ./.docker/rabbitmq/logs/:/var/log/rabbitmq/
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE: secret-cookie
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: rabbituser
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: password
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST: /rabbit-vh
    
    ports:
      - 5672:5672
      - 15672:15672

Access the docker container:

docker exec -it rabbitmq /bin/bash

# then enable the management plugin
# https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html#getting-started

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Enabling plugins on node rabbit@592e772911d9:
rabbitmq_management
The following plugins have been configured:
  rabbitmq_management
  rabbitmq_management_agent
  rabbitmq_web_dispatch
Applying plugin configuration to rabbit@592e772911d9...
The following plugins have been enabled:
  rabbitmq_management
  rabbitmq_management_agent
  rabbitmq_web_dispatch

started 3 plugins.

After all, I can access http://localhost:15672/ normally.

From your post I understand you want to access the management console of RabbitMQ. If that is indeed the case you are using the wrong image. The correct image is rabbitmq:management. Also the internal port is 15672 and not 15762.

Here is a correct version to test the management console:

version: '3'
services:
  rabbitmq:
    image: "rabbitmq:management"
    ports:
     - "15672:15672"
     - "5672:5672"

Then you can navigate to http://localhost:15672
