Yeah and it's not obvious that there's any way to get Kafka up and running without Zookeeper, or what their interaction is. And you can get Zookeeper and Kafka running on one machine, but it's such a pain and there's nothing to help really in the docs.

- WaxProlix 9y agoMore like getting started in a dev environment; I want to play with a technology on a laptop or my home compute machine sometimes before venturing into production or recommending it to clients.

- miguno 9y agoWhy don't you run Kafka from a Docker image, like the Docker images provided by Confluent?https://docs.confluent.io/current/installation/docker/docs/ https://docs.confluent.io/current/installation/docker/docs/
- miguno 9y agoAlso, since you talked above about the "lack of documentation" to get up and running with a small Kafka deployment of only 1 broker and 1 ZK instance: this is covered in the Kafka quickstart, which is probably what most people will read when starting out with Kafka. See https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#quickstart https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#quickstart. Perhaps you had a different issue though?
