Question

knowing that my kafka_cluster work fine and I'm using docker-compose I put inside the container :registery schema

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.kafka.v1+json" \
    --data '{"name": "my_consumer_instance", "format": "avro", "auto.offset.reset": "smallest"}' \
    http://rest-proxy:8082/consumers/my_avro_consumer
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: rest-proxy

Answer 1

rest-proxy:8082

This must be an actual server or IP address.

To make it work with a short-name, setup your DNS server to know that you have a machine with a hostname of rest-proxy exists on your network.

I'm using docker-compose

Make sure that your curl is happening within the Docker network.

For example,

docker-compose exec kafka-rest sh, and run curl from there
