⁠How to use this image

1. This image can be used by simply running

$ docker run --name=kafka -p 9092:9092 -td phenompeople/kafka

Above command runs kafka container with port 9092 mapped to host and connecting to local zookeeper based on default server_config.properties.

1. To make image run even after reboot use extra option --restart=always

$ docker run --restart=always --name=kafka -p 9092:9092 -td phenompeople/kafka

Note: If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized.

To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed. If you are using default configuration mount the volume to /tmp/kafka-logs

1. To make image run even after reboot along with storage persistance use extra option --restart=always

$ docker run --restart=always --name=kafka -p 9092:9092 -v /data:/tmp/kafka-logs -td phenompeople/kibana
