# How do I connect to my RabbitMQ server?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-connect-to-my-rabbitmq-server

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "RabbitMQ is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. The link in the **Panel address** row opens the admin UI. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows.

## Connecting your app

The connection string looks like this:

`amqp://yonetici:PASSWORD@IP:5672/%2f`

The `%2f` at the end means the default vhost, `/`.

## Good to know

- Port **5672** comes without TLS and is open to the internet. Docker publishes it, so ufw does not block it. To open it only inside the server, change the port line in `/opt/seturack/rabbitmq/compose.yaml` to `127.0.0.1:5672:5672`, run `docker compose up -d` and connect over an SSH tunnel.
- RabbitMQ's production checklist asks for at least 4 GiB of memory and 4 cores per node. 2 GB is for development and testing.
- The admin UI opens over HTTPS on port **443**.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with RabbitMQ installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/rabbitmq-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
