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:
Linux
Windows, NT through 10
Windows Server 2012 through 2018
macOS
Solaris
FreeBSD
TRU64
VxWorks
The open source release of RabbitMQ is most commonly used and deployed on the following platforms:
Ubuntu and Debian-based Linux distributions
Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and RPM-based Linux distributions
Windows Server
macOS
openSUSE and derived distributions (including SLES and SLERT)
Commercially Supported Platforms
A list of platforms for which you can purchase commercial support for RabbitMQ is available in the commercial RabbitMQ distribution documentation.
Windows
RabbitMQ will run on any Windows version that supported Erlang/OTP releases can run on, both desktop and server editions. This includes Windows 7 through 10, Server 2012 through 2018.
Older versions of Windows may require using an older version of Erlang/OTP and RabbitMQ. Please consult documentation archive and Erlang version compatibility page.
Other Flavours of UNIX
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.
Virtualized Platforms and Containers
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.
Unsupported Platforms
Some platforms are not supported and probably never will be:
z/OS and most mainframes
Very memory-constrained systems (< 32 MB of RAM)
If your platform is on this list or you need assistance then please contact Pivotal.
