RabbitMQ Server

Requesting RabbitMQ Server be added as an open-source message broker. We support a large community of developers that are using this application; however, the versioning is not consistent across the board. This would help to streamline that version control and allow for a better response time to potential security vulnerabilities.

Per the vendor documentation, RabbitMQ Server requires ERLANG OTP as a pre-requisite to installation and they recommend staying on ERLANG 25, as it's more production tested; while ERLANG 26 is the newest and less tested for compatability. The Release Notes and Download URL for ERLANG OTP 25 is <https://www.erlang.org/patches/otp-25.3.2.5>.

Initial installation of RabbitMQ Server throws an error if it detects that ERLANG OTP isn't already installed and will prompt user if they want to have a browser opened to download the file. When installing ERLANG OTP ahead of RabbitMQ Server, there was a checkbox for 'Microsoft DLLs' which would attempt to install Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 - 2019, and fail. I suspect this is because on my test machine I already have Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 - 2022 installed. Leaving that box unchecked did not reproduce installation errors.

Additionally, when uninstalling RabbitMQ Server, log and database directories located at 'C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ' are not removed and would require manual removal, if desired.
