Install IBM MQ in a container | Set up messaging software in 4 minutes (Docker)

[@martinmiles9241]

Would be great to see real life scenarios with MQ in containers, like queue managers with intercommunication either clustered or P2P, using TLS secured channels. A standalone QM in a container with no connections to other QMs is not something most enterprises would ever use.

Thank you IBM Developer!

I am new to Docker & kubernetes is it possible to deploy ibm MQ multiinstace to kubernetes cluster?

[@abayradha7488]

In case I migrate a MQ from VM to Container, what change I need to do in consuming applications that were deployed outside container. Just change host name to point to the container route and port(1414 - I guess this does not change) ? Anything else to be changed for me to point to the new location?

[@maxk9180]

Hi Abay, this is a great question! You should just need to point to the hostname where your container is hosted and the port 1414 if that's what you used when you mapped the ports in the docker run step. Hope this helps!

Hello Max. I have builded the development environment and I´m working with many queue managers and executing some tests with success. Now I´m working to get the production environment done. But here, where I work, we have only Suse linux and I did not find any documentation about build a own image for Suse Linux, only for Red Hat. Have you got any documentation how builder my own MQ image for Suse Linux, I already got the IBM_MQ_9.2.5_LINUX_X86-64_NOINST ? Kind regards.

Can I use 9443 port to send rest api to MQ?

Hi, yes you can! This tutorial has some examples and instructions: developer.ibm.com/tutorials/mq-develop-mq-rest-api/

Hi I installed MQ 9.2.4 in docker container on Ubuntu 20.04, however for some reason there is Java process that just keeps using 100% of my CPU. Any suggestions?

What is the url of the mq console and id and password.

[@maxk9180]

Hi Albert, If you are using MQ in a container like in this video, go to localhost:9443/ibmmq/console and log in with the username "admin" and password "passw0rd" (those are the defaults for the developer configuration). This video has more information about the MQ console: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naHClqNjrb6KnLc This article will explain what you need to do in more detail if you're not using a version of MQ in Docker: developer.ibm.com/components/ibm-mq/tutorials/mq-setting-up-using-ibm-mq-console/ Let me know how you get on.

@@maxk9180 I enter the console the first time, go well for https: // localhost: 9443 / ibmmq / console when stopping the container and restarting the console no longer works https: // localhost: 9443 / ibmmq / console

[@maxk9180]

@@lughtalacant Inside the container, there's a web server which is running and serves the console when you navigate to that address in your browser. If you stop your container, the console won't be accessible until you restart the container. Check your container is definitely running with a docker ps. If that's not the problem, you can also raise a question on stackoverflow if you want to share more details of your system. Tag your question with [ibm-mq] and we'll be able to see it and respond to you! Hope this helps!

Hi, sorry but we don't have a version for the arm platform in a dockerhub image! If you want to use another platform, you can follow the written tutorial I put in the description.

I follow the instructions and install MQ in docker but what is the password for the MQ? // Create variables for the connection to MQ private static final String HOST = "localhost"; // Host name or IP address private static final int PORT = 1414; // Listener port for your queue manager private static final String CHANNEL = "DEV.APP.SVRCONN"; // Channel name private static final String QMGR = "QM1"; // Queue manager name private static final String APP_USER = "app"; // User name that application uses to connect to MQ private static final String APP_PASSWORD = "_APP_PASSWORD_"; // Password that the application uses to connect to MQ private static final String QUEUE_NAME = "DEV.QUEUE.1"; // Queue that the application uses to put and get messages to and from

[@maxk9180]

Hi, you set the password when you ran the "docker run" command which started up the container. If you didn't change it, the default password is "passw0rd". Hope that helps, and please remember to change your password from the default before you use it in production to something more secure!
