Hi, I have created an Ubuntu image docker on a physical host running RHES75.
I installed both Zookeeper and Kafka binaries in this container and they both started OK, I ran my Zookeeper on port 3400 and Kafka running on port 12092 hduser@bbe7e47d5609: /home/hduser> jps 7026 QuorumPeerMain 7079 Kafka I can connect from contain to any host as long /etc/hosts has the relevant host information. I mapped port 3400 and 12092 on the physical host running the container as port forwarding. [root@rhes75 ~]# docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES bbe7e47d5609 ubuntu "bash" 28 hours ago Up 25 hours testdocker I did the mapping of ports as follows: iptables -t nat -A DOCKER -p tcp --dport 4300 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.0.2:4300 iptables -t nat -A DOCKER -p tcp --dport 12092 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.0.2:12092 So if I go to another host and try to telnet to port 4300 on the docker it works hduser@rhes564: /home/hduser/dba/log> telnet rhes75 4300 Trying 50.140.197.220... Connected to rhes75 (50.140.197.220). Escape character is '^]'. hduser@rhes564: /home/hduser/dba/log> telnet rhes75 12092 Trying 50.140.197.220... Connected to rhes75 (50.140.197.220). Escape character is '^]'. If I stop Zookeeper (running on 4300), the connection will be refused I created a topic called "test" on a remote host as follows ${KAFKA_HOME}/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper rhes75:4300 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test And if I go into docker I can see that topic on localhost:4300 ${KAFKA_HOME}/bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper *localhost:4300* --topic test Topic:test PartitionCount:1 ReplicationFactor:1 Configs: Topic: test Partition: 0 Leader: 1 Replicas: 1 Isr: 1 The problem I see is that I cannot publish messages to the broker on this container >From remote host I start publishing some test prices cat ${IN_FILE} | ${KAFKA_HOME}/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list rhes75:12092 --topic test --property "parse.key=true" --property "key.separator=:" I get this error that indicates there is an issue talking to broker on the container!
