Please add docker-compose environment variable CLUSTER_WITH to take a node name as input

[mahi-kandiar]

CLUSTER_WITH should take a host name and upon finding a hostname with that name, it should cluster with that node

[Gsantomaggio]

You should consider using rabbitmq-autocluster plugin to create the clusters, instead CLUSTER_WITH variable

CLUSTER_WITH needs a node to bind the other nodes, with rabbitmq-autocluster you can use different backends and bind the nodes dynamically. So you don't need a "master cluster node".

Currently, it supports:

• AWS EC2 tags
• AWS Autoscaling Groups
• Kubernetes
• DNS A records
• Consul
• etcd

There are a couple of examples to use it on Kubernetes:

• Deploy on K8s

• Deploy on K8s using StatefulSet Controller

There is also an example with docker-compose

The full documentation is available here

The current version is 0.8.0

Sorry for the long delay. We'd rather keep the scripts and config in the image as minimal as possible. See also #202 (comment) and linked issues.

Since the introduction of the 3.7 image, you can supply /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf and the entrypoint will only add/sed supplied envs while leaving other lines in the file untouched (#197 (comment)).
