#### RabbitMQ
You can access the RabbitMQ web interface via browser in two steps.
1. Find the IP address of the RabbitMQ broker:
```
docker network inspect vospace-transfer-service_backend_net | grep -i -A 3 rabbitmq
```
2. Open your browser and point it to http://IPv4Address:15672 (user: guest, password: guest)
