Products

• VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ

Issue/Introduction

This article provides step-by-step instructions to authenticate against the Broadcom private container registry and pull official VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ OCI container images using Docker.

Unlike open-source RabbitMQ images hosted on Docker Hub, VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ commercial distribution images are hosted on rabbitmq.packages.broadcom.com and require a generated Registry Token for access.

Environment

VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ OCI 4.x / 3.x

Resolution

1. Generate your Registry Token

1. Log into the Broadcom Support Portal.
2. From the top navigation bar, select Tanzu.
3. Go to My Downloads in the left menu.
4. Click the Registry Tokens button.
5. Click Generate Token and copy the generated string. (Note: This token acts as your registry password).

2. Authenticate to the Registry via Docker

Run the docker login command, passing your Broadcom username and the Registry Token generated in Step 1 as the password:

example:
docker login rabbitmq.packages.broadcom.com --username=<YOUR_BROADCOM_USERNAME> --password=<YOUR_REGISTRY_TOKEN>

3. Pull the Desired VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ OCI Image

Pull the required variant and version using the full image path:

example:
docker pull rabbitmq.packages.broadcom.com/vmware-tanzu-rabbitmq:4.2.3

4. Verify Local Image Availability

Confirm that the image was downloaded successfully to your local environment:

docker images
