Correct path for rabbitmq Docker container in Windows
The correct path for the RabbitMQ Docker container on Windows depends on the specific setup and configuration you have. By default, the RabbitMQ Docker image stores its data inside the container, but you can mount a volume or bind it to a directory on the host machine for persistent storage.
When running RabbitMQ as a Docker container on Windows, you can specify the host directory to mount as a volume using the -v
or --volume
option in the docker run
command.
Here's an example of running a RabbitMQ container and binding a host directory to store the data:
bashdocker run -d --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -v C:\path\to\data:/var/lib/rabbitmq rabbitmq:latest
In this example, we're running the RabbitMQ container with the rabbitmq:latest
image. The -v C:\path\to\data:/var/lib/rabbitmq
option binds the host directory C:\path\to\data
to the /var/lib/rabbitmq
directory inside the container, which is where RabbitMQ stores its data.
Replace C:\path\to\data
with the actual path on your Windows machine where you want to store the RabbitMQ data. Make sure to use the correct path syntax for Windows, which uses backslashes \
as the directory separator.
By using this approach, the RabbitMQ container will store its data on the host machine, allowing for persistence even if the container is stopped or deleted.
Note that if you don't specify a volume or bind a host directory, the RabbitMQ container will store its data inside the container, and it will be lost when the container is stopped or deleted.
Make sure to adjust the command and paths to match your specific setup and requirements.
