You can browse the mgmnt GUI using http://localhost:15672/

in your program folder this should be structure

-rw-r--r-- 1 kunal kunal  321 Feb 13 09:57 send-py.py

• requirements.txt will include all packages you need to install for your program.
• Dockerfile will package you program will also dependency in image.

$ cat requirements.txt 
pika == 1.1.0

$ cat Dockerfile 
FROM python:2.7

ADD requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
RUN mkdir /app
ADD send-py.py /app 
WORKDIR /app

CMD ["python", "./send-py.py"]

build image

$ docker build -t rmq-send .

Now, your rmq server and client programs should run in same network.
Since in above example, the rmq server is exposed on host network, to access that, you need to run this client container with host network.

$ docker run --net=host rmq-send:latest
 [x] Sent 'Hello World!'

In actual deployment, you need to create a docker network, and put all server clients on that network, so all clients can access the server.
check the bitnami page mentioned in above link. It is explained there.
