• Create the network :

$ docker network create --driver bridge kafka-net

• Create the folders :

$ mkdir -p {zookeeper,kafka}/{data,logs}

• Execute the docker compose :

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

• Access Kafka Manager : http://localhost:9000/.

• Create a new cluster.

• Name it as you like (Localtest for example).

• IP : zookeeper:2181

• Kafka version (corresponding here to the Kafka version inside the image : ches/kafka:0.10.2.1) : 0.10.2.1

And then create it.

This is done !

• Stop the containers and remove them :

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml stop && docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml rm -vf

• Remove the docker network :

$ docker network rm kafka-net

• Remove content of Docker volumes (we need to do this trick to remove hidden and non-hidden files) :

$ rm -rf {zookeeper,kafka}/{data,logs} && mkdir -p {zookeeper,kafka}/{data,logs}
