Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics and integrations. Read more on the Apache Kafka website. This image requires the Apache Zookeeper image to run properly.
Please note that the images tagged up to 3.1 are Dockerfile-base images, whereas from version 3.6.1 onward the images are now rocks. As such the entrypoint is now Pebble. Read more on the Rockcraft docs.
To deploy a single-broker dockerized version of Kafka, you need to first deploy the ZooKeeper service and make sure that the ZooKeeper service is reachable by Kafka.
First, create a network
docker network create -d bridge kafka-network
Deploy the ZooKeeper service
docker run --detach --name zookeeper --network kafka-network ubuntu/zookeeper:3.8-22.04_edge
Finally, deploy the Kafka service
docker run --detach --name kafka --network kafka-network -p 9092:9092 ubuntu/kafka:3.6-22.04_edge
Up to 5 years of free security maintenance on LTS channels.
Up to 10 years of customer security maintenance from Canonical's restricted repositories.

Channel Tags shows the most stable channel for that track ordered stable
, candidate
, beta
, edge
. More risky channels are always implicitly available. So if beta
is listed, you can also pull edge
. If candidate
is listed, you can pull beta
and edge
. When stable
is listed, all four are available. Images are guaranteed to progress through the sequence edge
, beta
, candidate
before stable
.
