Hi, I would want to discuss a problem I am facing while trying to use Kafka in Docker container.
My topology is simple: One Linux VM running a Docker machine. - One container for Zookeeper - One container for Kafka I publish subscribe to the Broker from a client on my local machine, which is in the same network as the VM. *Problem statement* 1. *Using advertised.host.name <http://advertised.host.name> as the host IP of the Docker container* - Producer is able to resolve topic partition leader, as fetched from Zookeeper and publish works fine. However, a broker metadata fetch for the consumer will keep giving LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE warnings, since the host IP is not resolvable from inside of container, by the broker. 2. *Using advertised.host.name <http://advertised.host.name> as the internal IP of the Docker container* - Producer operation will timeout now, since the internal IP as fetched from Zookeeper is not resolvable from the client. End result is that I am unable to have publish/subscribe both work at the same time! Here are a couple of SOF posts with similar problems faced: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37290005/publishing-a-message-to-kafka-running-inside-docker https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32302444/interact-with-kafka-docker-container-from-outside-of-docker-host <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32302444/interact-with-kafka-docker-container-from-outside-of-docker-host> Do we have any clean solution for this, without getting much into networking/NAT techniques? Thanks, Sutanu
