Kafka

Run Kafka in Podman

The following will run Kafka and Zookeeper in Podman, and allow you to connect to localhost:9092.

Pull the Zookeeper and Kafka images.

 podman pull bitnami/kafka
 podman pull bitnami/zookeeper

Create a pod container to place the containers in so they can talk to each other.

Start the Zookeeper instance.
