how can i connect this from node js server in developement and production enviroment

Good day @backhams sorry for the late reply. Were you able to get it done?

I think the template description should include the following to complete the installation/start-using-it:

1 - Expose the service with a TCP proxy pointing to port 9092, this will provide a public url like: random-url.proxy.rlwy.net:12354

2 - Modify the env KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS to the value generated in step1, like this: PLAINTEXT://public-tcp-url-generate-in-step-1:port

I had to do both configurations to get it working for me, maybe it will help the next one

Will add this thank you! 

The current setup was made for use using the private url but I will add support for public url as well 

Yes, I realized that it is designed for internal use, but for local testing we need a public URL... that's why I think it's valid to explain it in the description.

In any case, very good template, thanks for the contribution

Hey, may I suggest an improvement?

It would be possible to add a volume to the template?, so that the sent messages are saved in case the service is restarted.

I tried to do it on my own but I got a permissions error.

It would be great if you could help me with this.

Best Regards

Sure will do

Hello,

Added the public url as KAFKA_PUBLIC_URL, the volume stuff is trickier than i thought but currently hammering at it

Amazing, thanks, i will test this later on.

EDIT: i just test it, it work perfectly...
