Has anyone been able to start a topic using Docker Compose?

[andrewterra]

I attempted to put

kafka:
    image: spotify/kafka
    ports:
      - "9092:9092"
      - "2181:2181"
    hostname: kafka
    expose:
      - "9092"
      - "2181"
    environment:
      TOPICS: test-topic

But this failed to work, is there something that I'm missing? (I tried with quotes around the topic as well)

Also, if anyone has had any luck using Spring to connect to a topic, I would greatly appreciate some help connecting to the topics.

TOPICS env is for spotify/kafkaproxy image.

      --topic dummy_topic &) && (supervisord -n)"

@terrabl, you can do it like this.

Hi there, I have a question. How can I create producer and consumer in "command" section like this topic was created?

AUTO_CREATE_TOPICS

Is this variable really needed? I've managed to get my topic created even without this variable. Could you please explain reason why we need it?

I did a NuGet package update and that solved my issue
