Docker Compose Kafka Zookeeper Setup for Local Development

Reading around online blogs and stack overflow articles I came up short on a complete solution or some solutions were too verbose.

Prerequisites:

• Install docker and docker compose https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Yaml file for docker-compose config for a local setup.

services:
  # See:
  # https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/zookeeper
  zookeeper:
    image: bitnami/zookeeper:3.7.1
    container_name: 'zookeeper'
    ports:
      - 2181:2181
    environment:
      - ALLOW_ANONYMOUS_LOGIN=yes

  # See:
  # https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/kafka
  kafka:
    image: bitnami/kafka:3.4.0
    container_name: 'kafka'
    ports:
      - 9092:9092
    environment:
      - KAFKA_BROKER_ID=1
      - KAFKA_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://:9092
      - KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://10.5.0.1:9092
      - KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=zookeeper:2181
      - ALLOW_PLAINTEXT_LISTENER=yes
    depends_on:
      - zookeeper

This solution isn’t suited for production.
