See also https://www.baeldung.com/ops/kafka-docker-setup where I got this from.
NOTE: this example doesn’t use a volume, so data isn’t persisted between runs. That’s OK for messing around. See the docs for how to use volumes if needed.
Good for just messing around in development env.

Note the exposed port and the KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS
port.
Start it up with docker-compose up
(use -d
to run in background).
Open a bash prompt to the zookeeper container to use the kafka clis: docker
exec -it kafka-docker_zookeeper_1 bash
Just extend the docker-compose to have multiple zookeepers and kafka brokers. See https://www.baeldung.com/ops/kafka-docker-setup for an example.
