    RabbitMQ - Hardened Open-Source Message Broker (AMQP)

     Info

    Free Trial
    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. RabbitMQ is an open-source multi-protocol message broker (AMQP 0-9-1) running on Erlang/OTP, with a bundled web management UI. Unlike bare RabbitMQ AMIs that ship with the well-known default guest/guest account, the management UI open on every interface, and no TLS, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: a unique admin user generated at first boot with the default guest account deleted, the management UI bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS reverse proxy, native AMQPS (TLS) on 5671, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. MPL-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS RABBITMQ

    RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker from Team RabbitMQ (Broadcom), implemented in Erlang/OTP and one of the most widely deployed brokers for the AMQP 0-9-1 protocol, with STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket support via plugins. It routes messages between producers and consumers through exchanges, queues, and bindings, supporting work queues, publish/subscribe, routing, topics, and request/reply, with durable queues, publisher confirms, consumer acknowledgements, dead-lettering, TTLs, and quorum queues for replicated, fault-tolerant delivery. A bundled web management UI provides queue, exchange, connection, and user administration plus live metrics over an HTTP API. Broker state (virtual hosts, queues, users, and persistent messages) is stored on the local filesystem. This image runs a single node on Erlang/OTP 27. MPL-2.0 license - a self-hosted alternative to hosted queue services, with no per-message fees and no vendor lock-in.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Unique admin user (administrator tag) generated per instance at first boot; the default guest/guest account is deleted
    • A per-instance Erlang cookie generated at first boot (not a shared baked-in secret)
    • Management UI bound to 127.0.0.1 only, behind an nginx TLS reverse proxy on 443; RabbitMQ enforces its own login
    • Native AMQPS (TLS) on 5671 with a per-instance self-signed certificate; plaintext AMQP on 5672
    • UFW firewall - ports 22 (SSH), 443 (management UI), 5672 (AMQP), 5671 (AMQPS) only
    • fail2ban, AppArmor
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • RabbitMQ security baked in: a unique admin user at first boot with the default guest/guest account deleted, the management UI bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS reverse proxy, and native AMQPS (TLS)
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • Reliable AMQP messaging on Erlang/OTP: durable and quorum queues, publisher confirms, dead-lettering, and a bundled management UI with live metrics. MPL-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.medium recommended)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 (management UI) and TCP 5672/5671 (AMQP) from your IP
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/rabbitmq-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
    6. Log in to the management UI with the admin user and password from the credentials file

    Connect your AMQP clients with the same admin credential: amqp://admin:<password>@<PUBLIC_IP>:5672/ (plaintext) amqps://admin:<password>@<PUBLIC_IP>:5671/ (TLS, self-signed certificate)

    The default guest/guest account has been deleted. The management UI listens on 127.0.0.1:15672 only; nginx is the TLS perimeter on 443 - do not expose 15672 directly. Credentials are saved to /root/rabbitmq-credentials.txt at first boot. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate (certbot is pre-installed): sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.example.com
