rabbitmqctl, the provided command line interface, doesn't expose the ability to create a queue and bind it.
It, however, is quite trivial to do it with a quick script though, and the RabbitMQ getting started guide shows several examples of it, both on the publisher as well as the consumer side.
#do some work to connect
#do some work to open a channel
channel.queue_declare(queue='helloworld')
I'm glossing over connecting, but it's a literal one liner to create a queue. The operation is also idempotent, meaning you can include the statement in a script and be safe, knowing that it won't keep recreating the queue or blowing out an existing one of the same name.
Other answers are good alternatives to what was asked for. Below are commands you can use from the command line.
First, do all the necessary prep work, e.g. install rabbit, rabbitmqadmin, and rabbitctl. The idea is to use commands from rabbitmqctl and rabbitmqadmin. You can see some command examples: https://www.rabbitmq.com/management-cli.html
Example Commands/Setup:
The following commands should give you the majority if not all of what you need:
# Get the cli and make it available to use.
wget http://127.0.0.1:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin
chmod +x rabbitmqadmin
mv rabbitmqadmin /etc/rabbitmq
The following is an alternative to command line binding, as I've had issues with it sometimes and found the following python code to be more reliable.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika
rabbitmq_host = "127.0.0.1"
rabbitmq_port = 5672
rabbitmq_virtual_host = "Some_Virtual_Host"
rabbitmq_send_exchange = "some_exchange"
rabbitmq_rcv_exchange = "some_exchange"
rabbitmq_rcv_queue = "some_incoming_queue"
rabbitmq_rcv_key = "some_routing_key"
outgoingRoutingKeys = ["outgoing_routing_key"]
outgoingQueues = ["some_outgoing_queue "]
# The binding area
credentials = pika.PlainCredentials(rabbitmq_user, rabbitmq_password)
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(rabbitmq_host, rabbitmq_port, rabbitmq_virtual_host, credentials))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.queue_bind(exchange=rabbitmq_rcv_exchange, queue=rabbitmq_rcv_queue, routing_key=rabbitmq_rcv_key)
for index in range(len(outgoingRoutingKeys)):
channel.queue_bind(exchange=rabbitmq_send_exchange, queue=outgoingQueues[index], routing_key=outgoingRoutingKeys[index])
The above can be run as part of a script using python. Notice I put the outgoing stuff into arrays, which will allow you to iterate through them. This should make things easy for deploys.
Last Thoughts
I think the above should get you moving in the right direction, use google if any specific commands don't make sense or read more with rabbitmqadmin help subcommands. I tried to use variables that explain themselves. Good luck :)
Create RabbitMq Exchange, Queue and Bindings dynamically from CLI on Windows
I already had a RabbitMQ Server installed and running with multiple queue and exchange and now wanted to create it on the fly from command line. I know it is an old question but I thought giving out this information will be helpful.
Following is what I did:
Setup
Downloaded and installed Python 2.6.6-201008-24 Windows x86-64 MSI installer , any version of python greater than 2.X but not 3.X
Download RabbitMqAdmin: RabbitMq Web User Interface has a link Command Line which navigates to http://server-name:15672/cli/ (server-name: server on which rabbitmq is installed) alternatively,use the above url and save the file as rabbitmqadmin.exe in the python exe location
