Controlling Docker RabbitMQ via rabbitmqctl

docker_rabbitmqctl.md

Example invocation of a RabbitMQ docker container (use -d instead of -t -i to run in the background):

sudo docker run -t -i --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management

Example of controlling the rabbitmq-server inside the container using rabbitmqctl (also inside the container).

sudo docker exec rabbitmq su rabbitmq -- /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmqctl status

Thanks @joshes, it worked for me as well.
