LavinMQ ports
LavinMQ supports three main protocols:
- AMQP
- HTTP
- Replication protocol
Each protocol listens on a default port that’s configurable. In the subsequent sections, we will look at the available ports for each protocol and how to configure your instance to use custom ports.
AMQP
In addition to AMQP, LavinMQ also supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3, for AMQPS. The ports for AMQP and AMQPS are as follows:
- AMQP:
5672 - AMQPS:
5671- If a valid certificate and key are available.
Other than the defaults above, you can also use custom ports for AMQP and AMQPS by
updating the following variables in the lavinmq.ini file as shown below:
[amqp]
bind = 0.0.0.0
port = 3322
tls_port = 3321
HTTP
LavinMQ exposes a number of services over HTTP, namely:
- Management UI
- HTTP API
- Prometheus metrics endpoint
In addition to HTTP, LavinMQ also supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3, for HTTPS. Thus, for the management interface, LavinMQ listens on the following ports:
- HTTP:
15672 - HTTPS:
15671- If a valid certificate and key are available.
Other than the defaults above, you can also use custom ports for HTTP and HTTPS by
updating the following variables in the lavinmq.ini file as shown below:
[mgmt]
bind = 0.0.0.0
port = 6644
tls_port = 6643
In addition to the management interface LavinMQ also exposes a HTTP API and
a metrics endpoint for Prometheus - both services listen on port 443.
Replication protocol
LavinMQ >1.1.6 comes with a dedicated replication protocol for the hot standby replication feature. This protocol listens on the default port 5679.
However, this is configurable.
To use a custom port, update the following variables in the lavinmq.ini file as shown below:
[replication]
bind = 0.0.0.0
port = 5679
Wrap up
In conclusion, LavinMQ supports three main protocols: AMQP, HTTP,
and Replication protocol. Each protocol has its default port, which can be
configured to use custom ports. By adjusting the configuration settings in
the lavinmq.ini file, you can easily tailor LavinMQ to suit your specific
port requirements for each protocol.
