Dockerfile

FROM rabbitmq:3-management

# Add script to create default users / vhosts
ADD init.sh /init.sh

Place both files in the same directory and build the image as follows

$ docker build -t my_rabbitmq_image .

then start the container

$ docker run -d --rm=true --name [rabbit-container-name] -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672  my_rabbitmq_image

or

$ docker run -d  -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 --name [rabbit-container-name] my_rabbitmq_image

example: docker run -d --rm=true --name local-rabbit -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 my_rabbitmq_image
