Management version does not have Python or rabbitmqadmin installed

[greggilbert]

The current 3.6-management branch is missing rabbitmqadmin and Python.

Using this docker-compose:

version: '3'
services:
  queue:
    image: rabbitmq:3.6-management
    ports:
      - "5672:5672"
      - "15672:15672"

Here's my terminal:

$ docker-compose up -d
Pulling queue (rabbitmq:3.6-management)...
3.6-management: Pulling from library/rabbitmq
bc95e04b23c0: Pull complete
(...other stuff)
Digest: sha256:3840069fcc704db533cd83ec7fad30daabdd2fda321df4fb788b81b6ed2323b2
Status: Downloaded newer image for rabbitmq:3.6-management
Creating test_queue_1 ...
Creating test_queue_1 ... done

$ docker-compose exec queue /bin/bash
root@f2e677eafa1c:/# rabbitmq
root@f2e677eafa1c:/# which rabbitmqadmin
root@f2e677eafa1c:/# which python
root@f2e677eafa1c:/# echo $?
1

Given that rabbitmqadmin is a Python script, I can't see how this would work.

Did something change, or am I doing something wrong?

We haven't had python in the rabbitmq image (and I didn't know we needed it).

As far as I understand it, the rabbitmqadmin script should exist once you enable the management plugin (which is what the image does). It is available via /cli/ as the docs describe, but only exists in the image after rabbitmq is started:

$ docker run -d --name rabbit rabbitmq:management
$ docker exec -it rabbit bash
root@8e9ac1e5bcc6:/# find / -name '*rabbitmqadmin*'
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit@8e9ac1e5bcc6-plugins-expand/rabbitmq_management-3.6.14/priv/www/cli/rabbitmqadmin

Too bad the extracted location isn't useful for adding to the path. 😞 But I do think getting it into the path of the management image would make the image a little more useful.

We're also at least partially suffering from rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#426 (when visiting http://host-or-ip-of-rabbit:15672/cli the "download" link is wrong -- one has to visit http://host-or-ip-of-rabbit:15672/cli/ instead to get the appropriate link).
