matrixsolutions/kafka repository overview

⁠NOTICE

This file was changed from the original, spotify version

This repository provides everything you need to run Kafka in Docker.

⁠Why?

The main hurdle of running Kafka in Docker is that it depends on Zookeeper. Compared to other Kafka docker images, this one runs both Zookeeper and Kafka in the same container. This means:

• No dependency on an external Zookeeper host, or linking to another container
• Zookeeper and Kafka are configured to work together out of the box

⁠Run/Testing it out

Run the docker image with the name "kafka"

docker run --name kafka -it matrixsolutions/kafka:0.10.0.0

Create a test topic

docker exec -it kafka /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test

Startup a console consumer

docker exec -it kafka /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test --from-beginning

In a new terminal, startup a console producer

docker exec -it kafka /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test

Now, anything you enter into the producer should appear in the consumer.

⁠In the box
