RabbitMQ Playground

This repository demonstrates a simple event-driven system using RabbitMQ, Docker, and .NET Core Minimal APIs. This setup includes a service for sending event logs and a server to manage and dispatch these events.

Projects Details

1. ConsoleAppRabbitMqDemo

   • .NET Core console application that acts as a service. It sends event logs to RabbitMQ.

2. WebApplicationRabbitMqDemo

   • .NET Core web application that serves as the server. It manages the events and sends them to clients.
   • You can browse the web application at http://localhost:5000/index.html. This page provides a simple interface to interact with the application.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get the RabbitMQ Playground up and running:

Prerequisites

• Docker (for running RabbitMQ and the web application)
• .NET 8 SDK (or the version you are using)

Setup RabbitMQ

1. Start RabbitMQ using Docker

   Make sure Docker is installed and running on your machine. Then, navigate to the root directory and run:

   docker-compose up --build

   This will start RabbitMQ and the web application service.

2. Verify RabbitMQ is Running

   Once the Docker containers are up, you can access RabbitMQ's management interface by visiting http://localhost:15672. Default credentials are:

   • Username: guest
   • Password: guest

Health Check

The project includes a wait-for-rabbitmq.sh script to ensure RabbitMQ is available before starting the web application. This script checks the health of RabbitMQ and waits for it to be ready.

• Health Check Script (wait-for-rabbitmq.sh): This script attempts to connect to RabbitMQ’s health check endpoint. If RabbitMQ is not ready, it will retry up to a maximum number of times before exiting with an error.

  The script will wait for RabbitMQ to be healthy before running the main application command. If RabbitMQ is not available after several retries, it will exit with an error.

Running the Applications

1. Run the Console Application

   Open a separate terminal and navigate to the ConsoleAppRabbitMqDemo directory. Then, run:

   dotnet run

   Browse the web application at http://localhost:5000/index.html. This page provides a simple interface to interact with the application.
