Detailed documentation on the KubeMQ pubsub component

Component format

To set up KubeMQ pub/sub, create a component of type pubsub.kubemq. See the pub/sub broker component file to learn how ConsumerID is automatically generated. Read the How-to: Publish and Subscribe guide on how to create and apply a pub/sub configuration.

Create a KubeMQ broker


  1. Obtain KubeMQ Key.
  2. Wait for an email confirmation with your Key

You can run a KubeMQ broker with Docker:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -p 9090:9090 -e KUBEMQ_TOKEN=<your-key> kubemq/kubemq

You can then interact with the server using the client port: localhost:50000


  1. Obtain KubeMQ Key.
  2. Wait for an email confirmation with your Key

Then Run the following kubectl commands:

kubectl apply -f https://deploy.kubemq.io/init
kubectl apply -f https://deploy.kubemq.io/key/<your-key>

Install KubeMQ CLI

Go to KubeMQ CLI and download the latest version of the CLI.

Browse KubeMQ Dashboard


Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080


With KubeMQCTL installed, run the following command:

kubemqctl get dashboard

Or, with kubectl installed, run port-forward command:

kubectl port-forward svc/kubemq-cluster-api -n kubemq 8080:8080
