rabbitmq - Connect from one Docker container to another

I want to run rabbitmq-server in one docker container and connect to it from another container using celery (http://celeryproject.org/)

I have rabbitmq running using the below command...

sudo docker run -d -p :5672 markellul/rabbitmq /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server

and running the celery via

sudo docker run -i -t markellul/celery /bin/bash

When I am trying to do the very basic tutorial to validate the connection on http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/first-steps-with-celery.html

I am getting a connection refused error:

consumer: Cannot connect to amqp://[email protected]:5672//: [Errno 111] Connection refused.

When I install rabbitmq on the same container as celery it works fine.

What do I need to do to have container interacting with each other?

[edit 2016]

Direct links are deprecated now. The new way to do link containers is docker network connect. It works quite similar to virtual networks and has a wider feature set than the old way of linking.

First you create your named containers:

docker run --name rabbitmq -d -p :5672 markellul/rabbitmq /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server
docker run --name celery -it markellul/celery /bin/bash

Then you create a network (last parameter is your network name):

docker network create -d bridge --subnet 172.25.0.0/16 mynetwork

Connect the containers to your newly created network:

docker network connect mynetwork rabbitmq
docker network connect mynetwork celery

Now, both containers are in the same network and can communicate with each other.

A very detailed user guide can be found at Work with networks: Connect containers.

[old answer]

There is a new feature in Docker 0.6.5 called linking, which is meant to help the communication between docker containers.

First, create your rabbitmq container as usual. Note that i also used the new "name" feature which makes life a litte bit easier:

docker run --name rabbitmq -d -p :5672 markellul/rabbitmq /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server

You can use the link parameter to map a container (we use the name here, the id would be ok too):

docker run --link rabbitmq:amq -i -t markellul/celery /bin/bash

Now you have access to the IP and Port of the rabbitmq container because docker automatically added some environmental variables:

$AMQ_PORT_5672_TCP_ADDR
$AMQ_PORT_5672_TCP_PORT

In addition Docker adds a host entry for the source container to the /etc/hosts file. In this example amq will be a defined host in the container.
From Docker documentation:

Unlike host entries in the /etc/hosts file, IP addresses stored in the environment variables are not automatically updated if the source container is restarted. We recommend using the host entries in /etc/hosts to resolve the IP address of linked containers.
