Jordan Moore commented on KAFKA-9774: ------------------------------------- [~rhauch] & [~kkonstantine] , lemme know your thoughts here. Here's the current design # Use Jib to build the image <https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib> # Follow similar practices as the confluentinc/cp-docker image in that the CONNECT_ variables are templated into the worker property file. I'd planned on using FreeMarker to do this, but later realized that's probably overkill. # Wrap ConnectDistributed with a small class that just initializes that file from the environment variables. # Maybe add some additional verification around expected variables. # Write up some documentation that would be hosted in DockerHub # Ping someone in Docker official-images repo to get this put up there. Yes, right now the above repo is built in Maven, and just a branch of some Kafka Stream stuff I did before. That is all fixable of course, no problem. > Create official Docker image for Kafka Connect > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-9774 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9774 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Task > Components: build, KafkaConnect, packaging > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Jordan Moore > Priority: Major > Labels: build, features > Attachments: image-2020-03-27-05-04-46-792.png, > image-2020-03-27-05-05-59-024.png > > > This is a ticket for creating an *official* apache/kafka-connect Docker > image. > Does this need a KIP? - I don't think so. This would be a new feature, not > any API change. > Why is this needed? > # Kafka Connect is stateless. I believe this is why a Kafka image is not > created? > # It scales much more easily with Docker and orchestrators. It operates much > like any other serverless / "microservice" web application > # People struggle with deploying it because it is packaged _with Kafka_ , > which leads some to believe it needs to _*run* with Kafka_ on the same > machine. > I think there is separate ticket for creating an official Docker image for > Kafka but clearly none exist. I reached out to Confluent about this, but > heard nothing yet. > !image-2020-03-27-05-05-59-024.png|width=740,height=196! > > Zookeeper already has one , btw > !image-2020-03-27-05-04-46-792.png|width=739,height=288! > *References*: > [Docs for Official > Images|[https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_images/]] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
