Complete documentation of supported environment variables

[ash9002]

Is there a full list of supported environment variables for the official RabbitMQ Docker image anywhere?

I've looked at https://github.com/docker-library/docs/blob/master/rabbitmq/README.md and https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq/ but neither seem to provide any such documentation or point to a link which does - unless I've missed something.

Ouch, good point -- RabbitMQ itself supports several, but we add a bunch more in docker-entrypoint.sh: https://github.com/docker-library/rabbitmq/blob/bded33b6598e8e2b5a92b5c2a1bbebd255edf24a/debian/docker-entrypoint.sh (which really do need to be documented)

Of what I can see at a glance by printing the config keys with:

for configKey in "${allConfigKeys[@]}"; do
  echo "$configKey" | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" | sed -e "s/^/RABBITMQ_/g"
done

We have

RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_CACERTFILE
RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_CERTFILE
RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_DEPTH
RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_KEYFILE
RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT_SSL_VERIFY
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST
RABBITMQ_HIPE_COMPILE
RABBITMQ_VM_MEMORY_HIGH_WATERMARK
RABBITMQ_SSL_CACERTFILE
RABBITMQ_SSL_CERTFILE
RABBITMQ_SSL_DEPTH
RABBITMQ_SSL_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
RABBITMQ_SSL_KEYFILE
RABBITMQ_SSL_VERIFY

Some documented images have Markdown tables which make for nice summaries of configurable options.

And then we could link to https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#define-environment-variables as well.
