Start Pulsar in Docker

  1. A minimal Docker image based on Alpine Linux with a complete package index and only 5 MB in size!
  2. The latest kafkacat docker image is edenhill/kafkacat:1.6.0, there's also Confluent's kafkacat docker images on Docker Hub. If you are connecting to Kafka brokers also running on Docker you should specify the network name as part of the docker run command using the -network parameter.
  • For MacOS, Linux, and Windows:

A few things to note about this command:

  • The data, metadata, and configuration are persisted on Docker volumes in order to not start 'fresh' everytime the container is restarted. For details on the volumes you can use docker volume inspect <sourcename>
  • For Docker on Windows make sure to configure it to use Linux containers

To install packages in a docker container, the packages should be defined in the Dockerfile. If you want to install packages in the Container, use the RUN statement followed by exact download command. $ RUN pip install //IN Windows $ RUN apt-get install //in Ubuntu $ RUN yum install //CentOS/RHEL.

If you start Pulsar successfully, you will see INFO-level log messages like this:
