redpanda v0.1.0

Messaging

Redpanda — a Kafka-compatible streaming data platform in a single binary (no ZooKeeper/JVM), with a Kafka API, HTTP proxy, and schema registry. Deployed here as a single-node dev-container instance, host-networked with a data volume. A lighter drop-in for Apache Kafka.

Readme

redpanda

Redpanda — a Kafka-compatible streaming data platform in a single binary (no ZooKeeper, no JVM), with a Kafka API, HTTP (Panda) Proxy, and Schema Registry. A lighter drop-in for Apache Kafka.

Single-node dev-container instance, host-networked with a data volume and a busybox chown init.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run redpanda --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`kafka_port`	`9092`	Kafka API.
`admin_port`	`9644`	Admin API.
`proxy_port`	`8082`	HTTP (Panda) Proxy.
`schema_port`	`8081`	Schema Registry.
`advertise_host`	`127.0.0.1`	Host advertised to Kafka clients — set to the node IP for remote clients.
`uid`	`101`	User Redpanda runs as; data volume is chown'd to it.
`data_volume`	`redpanda_data`	`/var/lib/redpanda/data`.
`image`	`redpandadata/redpanda:latest`	Image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 1000, memory = 1024 }`	Task resources.

advertise_host is the classic Kafka footgun: clients connect to the advertised address, so 127.0.0.1 only works for producers/consumers on the same host — set the node IP otherwise. This is a single-node dev-container deployment, not a production cluster. Ports 8081/8082 overlap some other packs' defaults; change them if co-locating. Pin the job with constraints.
