I am running rabbitMQ on a server at my office. I want to have a failover instance running in aws ec2 but am having trouble clustering them. I am able to connect to both the on prem and ec2 instances of rabbitMq that I installed from docker. Both instances have a DNS domain name linked to them. I am starting the instance on ec2 with this command:
docker run -d --hostname rabbit-01 --name rabbit-01 -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=root -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=toor -p 8080:15672 rabbitmq:3-management
I think I need to pass the RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE to it, however if I do, the docker container doesn't seem to start, and gives no error :(
I would love to be able to do this without having to vpn the ec2 intance into my local network.
Is this possible? Am I going about this in the wrong way? Has anyone managed to get this setup working before?
Thank you very much!
