jrottenberg/kafka-standalone repository overview

⁠Kafka standalone

Based on Kafka docker⁠.

⁠Intent

Intent was to keep it as simple as possible, just to let developer easily interact with kafka without the need to run docker-compose.

It's not following docker best practices (one service per container), but it allow to get you up and running with one container.

⁠Passing topic

You can pass a topic at container creation by passing the environment variable TOPIC

docker run -it -e TOPIC=mine jrottenberg/kafka-standalone

⁠Passing advertised host name

You can specify the passing the environment variable TOPIC

docker run -d -e ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME=$(hostname -f) -p 9092:9092 -p 2181:2181 jrottenberg/kafka-standalone

⁠Production use

Just don't ;-)
