How to run this image?

Since this image is prepared to run in Docker Swarm, the first step is to initialize the swarm:

$ docker swarm init

Then, add all the slaves into this Swarm using $ docker swarm join command. The image is prepared to include all Swarm workers as Rabbit slaves, and all Swarm managers as Rabbit masters. It also supports zero slaves (just one Rabbit master node).

Once the swarm is ready, we should create the docker-cloud.yml with RabbitMQ services definition. You can take an example from this image's repo.

Finally, we start the docker swarm rabbit cluster:

$ docker stack deploy -c docker-cloud.yml rabbitcluster

Where rabbitcluster is the name of the swarm service.
