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. Read more about Kafka Listeners here.

​
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
