RabbitMQ

Hardware requirements

CPU

At least 2 cores.

Memory

A minimum of 4GB of RAM is recommended for optimal RabbitMQ performance. See memory configuration for detailed recommendation.

Disk

Ensure you have sufficient disk space for RabbitMQ data and logs. A minimum of 4GB of disk space is recommended. Adjust the disk space based on your data retention and logging needs. See disk space configuration for detailed recommendation.

Installation

Follow the RabbitMQ instructions to install the appropriate version for the targeted OS.

Important

OKA requires RabbitMQ >= 3.0.0 and < 4.0.0. RabbitMQ 4.x is not supported: the way OKA sets up its Celery queues relies on parameters that are deprecated in 4.x, which leaves the system unusable. Make sure to install a 3.x release.

Debian 11/12/13, Ubuntu 24.04Amazon Linux 2023, RHEL 7/8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9
