Our goal is for RabbitMQ to run on as wide a range of platforms as possible. RabbitMQ can potentially run on any platform that provides a supported Erlang version, from multi-core nodes and cloud-based deployments to embedded systems.
The following platforms are supported by Erlang and could therefore run RabbitMQ:
The open source release of RabbitMQ is most commonly used and deployed on the following platforms:
A list of platforms for which you can purchase commercial support for RabbitMQ is available in the commercial RabbitMQ distribution documentation.
RabbitMQ will run on any Windows version that supported Erlang/OTP releases can run on, both desktop and server editions. This includes Windows 10, Server 2012 through 2022.
While not officially supported, Erlang and hence RabbitMQ can run on most systems with a POSIX layer including FreeBSD, Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD and many more.
RabbitMQ can run on physical or virtual hardware, including many IaaS providers and containers. This also allows unsupported platforms that are able to emulate a supported platform to run RabbitMQ.
A number of companies offer RabbitMQ-as-a-service in multiple clouds. Please see Installation Guide to learn more.
Some platforms are not supported and probably never will be:
If your platform is on this list or you need assistance then please contact VMware.
