Answer 1

I used it the following way and it worked for me

image: "ruby:2.3.3" //not required by rabbitmq

services:
  - rabbitmq:latest

variables:
  RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: guest
  RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: guest
  AMQP_URL: 'amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq:5672'

Now you can use the AMQP_URL env variable to connect to the rabbimq server. The general rule of thumb is any services declared will have the name (e.g. rabbitmq from rabbitmq:latest) as host or url or server. However in case you are running it in your own server or kubernetes cluster it will be localhost or 127.0.0.1. In my humble opinion that might be issue in your code. Hope it helps. :)
