Kafka docker image that works without zookeepr

Viewed 6916

I read that Kafka no longer requires zookeeper, so I don't want to have zookeeper in docker-compose. But I don't know which kafka image can work w/o zookeeper. can anyone give a hint?

You may well have read that in the future Apache Kafka will not need Zookeeper - this is detailed in KIP-500

However, this is not yet implemented, so for the time being (January 2021) you will still need a Zookeeper in your Docker Compose ensemble.

Confluent published a working docker-compose.yaml without zookeeper in their repository cp-all-in-one.

There is a script used as a workaround

#!/bin/sh

# Docker workaround: Remove check for KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT parameter
sed -i '/KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT/d' /etc/confluent/docker/configure

# Docker workaround: Ignore cub zk-ready
sed -i 's/cub zk-ready/echo ignore zk-ready/' /etc/confluent/docker/ensure

# KRaft required step: Format the storage directory with a new cluster ID
echo "kafka-storage format --ignore-formatted -t $(kafka-storage random-uuid) -c /etc/kafka/kafka.properties" >> /etc/confluent/docker/ensure

which is called in the command of the docker-compose-setup
