Kafka init.d

init.d scripts for Kafka. Will work out of the box with Confluent Data Platform or mainline Kafka.

Using the Scripts

1. Clone this repository.
2. Go to the cloned repository cd kafkainitd
3. Give the scripts execute permissions:

sudo chmod 0755 zookeeper
sudo chmod 0755 kafka-server
sudo chmod 0755 schema-registry
sudo chmod 0755 kafka-rest

2. Copy the scripts to init.d:

sudo cp zookeeper /etc/init.d
sudo cp kafka-server /etc/init.d
sudo cp schema-registry /etc/init.d
sudo cp kafka-rest /etc/init.d

2. Set them to run at boot:

sudo update-rc.d zookeeper defaults
sudo update-rc.d kafka-server defaults
sudo update-rc.d schema-registry defaults
sudo update-rc.d kafka-rest defaults 91

Note: If you're just using Kafka, don't run the commands for schema-registry or kafka-rest and possibly zookeeper.
