    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.

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
        <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

    Once the service is started, make sure that ActiveMQ service is up and running:

    sudo systemctl status activemq.service

    If the UFQ firewall is active and you are accessing the Apache ActiveMQ from a remote host, make sure to open the 8161 port. You can open the UFW port with the following command.

    sudo ufw allow 8161/tcp
