Docker Local SQS With AWS CLI

Docker Local SQS with AWS CLI pre-configured, This image is extension of roribio16/alpine-sqs:latest

Installation

basic docker-compose.yml file has been added, can be used as a reference.

docker-compose up -d

Create a queue

All AWS cli commands should work normally, Below is a sample command to make a new queue

docker-compose exec sqs aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9324 sqs create-queue --queue-name test

Above command will return you following response:

{
    "QueueUrl": "http://localhost:9324/queue/test"
}

Now you can use this Queue URL in your other services, You can either use service name of add network and assign alias to this service in order to be accessed by other services.

Usage

You can use below configurations in your projects with AWS SQS libraries to use from other services

KEY: notValidKey
SECRET: notValidSecret
REGION: eu-central-1
ENDPOINT: {ALIAS OR NAME OF SERVICE}:9324
QUEUE_URL: http://{ALIAS OR NAME OF SERVICE}:9324/queue/{QUEUE NAME}

Example Usage

Below is example usage, in this case sqs service has been assigned a network alias sqs.local

KEY: notValidKey
SECRET: notValidSecret
REGION: eu-central-1
ENDPOINT: sqs.local:9324
QUEUE_URL: http://sqs.local:9324/queue/watto

Things to Keep in mind While Using With Go Lang

You'll have to disable SSL, If your docker setup is not allowing http response to https or you are getting error like "server gave HTTP response to HTTPS", then you can use below code as reference

awsConfig := aws.NewConfig().
		WithRegion({REGION}).
		WithCredentials(credentials.NewStaticCredentialsFromCreds(credentials.Value{
			AccessKeyID:     {KEY},
			SecretAccessKey: {SECRET},
		}))

	if devMode == true {
		awsConfig = awsConfig.
			WithEndpoint({ENDPOINT}).
			WithDisableSSL(true)
	}

	sess, err := session.NewSession(awsConfig)
