Spring Boot Application issue with rabbitmq in docker

Question

I am trying to build a event driven microservice with spring cloud stream using rabbitmq. In my case, rabbitmq is running in docker.

Docker commands used to run below container

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit --publish 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3

Then going to bash mode of container I fired below command: rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management in order to start management-plugin

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                          NAMES
b2bc315c44aa        rabbitmq:3          "docker-entrypoint..."   7 minutes ago       Up 7 minutes        4369/tcp, 5671-5672/tcp, 25672/tcp, 0.0.0.0:15672->15672/tcp   some-rabbit

So I can access docker from browser on localhost:15672

But when I start the Spring Boot application it is not making queue and exchange. Please check the stack trace.

Thanks in advance.

How are you pointing to rabbit from spring boot? What hostname:port? — Robert
As rabbitmq is running with default settings, I have not done special settings in spring boot application.yml — Shashank_Itmaster
Looking at the docker output, I would say that only port 15672 is accessible from the outside. All the other ports aren't exposed. How did you start the container. Also instead of only adding a vague message you want to add the full stack trace / debug information you have. — M. Deinum
Thanks, could you also explain how you started the activemq container? — M. Deinum

You need to use the Docker image for RabbitMQ that has the management plugin (see https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq/), in your case rabbitmq:3-management.
