Hi Julian,

 

I think you are right, your problem lies probably in the settings you mentioned. Advertising kafka as localhost, will only work if you are running everything from within the same container or maybe have both kafka and zookeeper on the same container and run the create topic from the host machine. I found a lot of setups for kafka inside docker use two listeners: One for inside the docker network for inter broker communication + zookeeper, and one bound to your host to communicate to the outside.

 

I found settings this up quite painful. Now, I have a docker compose that has been working well for me. It uses the wurstmeister kafka and zookeeper images. I disentangled it from the rest of my mess and put it here: https://gitlab.helmholtz-berlin.de/a2324/phoebus-alarm-docker. Maybe it is helpful to you or you might even use it as it. If you have any problems with that, I am happy to help.

 

Regards,

Malte
