How to Install Apache ActiveMQ on Ubuntu 22.04

Apache ActiveMQ is an opensource message-oriented middleware (MOM) broker service written in Java programming language. It is a protocol developed by the Apache foundation that helps to send messages between different applications with additional features.

This tutorial helps you to install Apache ActiveMQ on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux system.

Prepare Your System

The ActiveMQ can be configured on any system that has Java installed. So make sure that your Ubuntu 22.04 Linux system has Java installed.

You can install Java on your with the following commands.

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install default-jdk 

It’s a good practice and recommended for running applications as non-root users. To create a user on your system, type:

sudo adduser activemq

Set the password to complete the user creation.

Now, the Ubuntu 22.04 is ready for Apache ActiveMQ installation. Go through the below steps:

Install Apache ActiveMQ on Ubuntu 22.04

First of all, download the latest version of Apache ActiveMQ source code from its official download page.

As of today, ActiveMQ 5.17.0 is the latest available version, that can be downloaded with the following commands.

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//activemq/5.17.0/apache-activemq-5.17.0-bin.tar.gz
tar xzf apache-activemq-5.17.0-bin.zip -C /opt 

Second command will extract the file at /opt/apache-activemq-5.17.0 directory.

The default ActiveMQ allows on localhost only. To enable ActiveMQ access for a local or public network, edit conf/jetty.xml configuration file.

sudo nano /opt/apache-activemq-5.17.0/conf/jetty.xml

Search for the below configuration section.

<bean id="jettyPort" class="org.apache.activemq.web.WebConsolePort" init-method="start"> <!-- the default port number for the web console --> <property name="host" value="localhost"/> <property name="port" value="8161"/> </bean>12345    <bean id="jettyPort" class="org.apache.activemq.web.WebConsolePort" init-method="start">             <!-- the default port number for the web console -->        <property name="host" value="localhost"/>        <property name="port" value="8161"/>    </bean>

Change host value from localhost to system IP address or set 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.

Save the file and close it.

Running ActiveMQ As Systemd Service

Systemd is the default system and service manager for the latest Linux operating systems. To make the service startup easier, create a configuration file for ActiveMQ as below:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/activemq.service 
Add the following content:
/etc/systemd/system/activemq.service 
[Unit]
Description=Apache ActiveMQ Message Broker
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking

User=activemq
Group=activemq

WorkingDirectory=/opt/apache-activemq-5.17.0/bin
ExecStart=/opt/apache-activemq-5.17.0/bin/activemq start
ExecStop=/opt/apache-activemq-5.17.0/bin/activemq stop
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
In case of a different version or location of ActiveMQ, update the configuration as per your system.
Save the file and close it.
Now reload the systemctl daemon to read the new configuration file.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload 
After that, enable the ActiveMQ systemd service to auto-start on system boot. Also, start the service.
sudo systemctl enable activemq.service 
sudo systemctl start activemq.service
