Connecting to Kafka running under Docker

General Case​

Connecting to Kafka under Docker is the same as connecting to a normal Kafka cluster. If your cluster is accessible from the network, and the advertised hosts are setup correctly, we will be able to connect to your cluster.

Kafka on Docker on Localhost​

To run Kafka on Docker on Localhost properly, we recommend you use this project.

The README should tell you how to get started.

Example

docker-compose -f zk-single-kafka-single.yml up

Then, you can connect to Kafka on 127.0.0.1:9092 using Conduktor!

Method 2​

We can leverage this project from lenses.io

Please read the README file to see how to launch this properly.

For example, on Mac OS X or Windows 10 running Docker

docker run -p 2181:2181 -p 3030:3030 -p 8081-8083:8081-8083  -p 9581-9585:9581-9585 -p 9092:9092 -e ADV_HOST=127.0.0.1  -e RUNNING_SAMPLEDATA=1 lensesio/fast-data-dev

Conduktor can then connect to 127.0.0.1:9092

If on Docker Toolbox:

docker run -p 2181:2181 -p 3030:3030 -p 8081-8083:8081-8083  -p 9581-9585:9581-9585 -p 9092:9092 -e ADV_HOST=192.168.99.100  -e RUNNING_SAMPLEDATA=1 lensesio/fast-data-dev

Conduktor can then connect to 192.189.99.100:9092
