ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services. All of these kinds of services are used in some form or other by distributed applications.
docker run --name zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
WARNING: This is a beta configuration, currently unsupported.
Get the raw URL pointing to the kubernetes.yml manifest and use kubectl to create the resources on your Kubernetes cluster like so:
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-zookeeper/master/kubernetes.yml
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- Bitnami images are built on CircleCI and automatically pushed to the Docker Hub.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Zookeeper Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull bitnami/zookeeper:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull bitnami/zookeeper:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
docker build -t bitnami/zookeeper:latest https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-zookeeper.git
If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
Note! If you have already started using Zookeeper, follow the steps on backing up and restoring to pull the data from your running container down to your host.
The image exposes a volume at /bitnami/zookeeper
for the Zookeeper data and configurations. For persistence you can mount a directory at this location from your host. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run.
docker run -v /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or using Docker Compose:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper
Using Docker container networking, a Zookeeper server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers.
Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.
In this example, we will create a Zookeeper client instance that will connect to the server instance that is running on the same docker network as the client.
$ docker network create app-tier --driver bridge
Use the --network app-tier
argument to the docker run
command to attach the Zookeeper container to the app-tier
network.
$ docker run -d --name zookeeper-server \
--network app-tier \
bitnami/zookeeper:latest
Finally we create a new container instance to launch the Zookeeper client and connect to the server created in the previous step:
$ docker run -it --rm \
--network app-tier \
bitnami/zookeeper:latest zkCli.sh -server zookeeper-server:2181 get /
When not specified, Docker Compose automatically sets up a new network and attaches all deployed services to that network. However, we will explicitly define a new bridge
network named app-tier
. In this example we assume that you want to connect to the Zookeeper server from your own custom application image which is identified in the following snippet by the service name myapp
.
version: '2'
networks:
app-tier:
driver: bridge
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
networks:
- app-tier
myapp:
image: 'YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE'
networks:
- app-tier
IMPORTANT:
- Please update the
YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE
placeholder in the above snippet with your application image- In your application container, use the hostname
zookeeper
to connect to the Zookeeper server
Launch the containers using:
$ docker-compose up -d
The configuration can easily be setup with the Bitnami Zookeeper Docker image using the following environment variables:
ZOO_PORT_NUMBER
: Zookeeper client port. Default: 2181ZOO_SERVER_ID
: ID of the server in the ensemble. Default: 1ZOO_TICK_TIME
: Basic time unit in milliseconds used by ZooKeeper for heartbeats. Default: 2000ZOO_INIT_LIMIT
: ZooKeeper uses to limit the length of time the ZooKeeper servers in quorum have to connect to a leader. Default: 10ZOO_SYNC_LIMIT
: How far out of date a server can be from a leader. Default: 5ZOO_SERVERS
: Comma, space or colon separated list of servers. Example: server.1=zoo1:2888:3888,server.2=zoo2:2888:3888. No defaults.ZOO_CLIENT_USER
: User that will use Zookeeper clients to auth. Default: No defaults.ZOO_CLIENT_PASSWORD
: Password that will use Zookeeper clients to auth. No defaults.ZOO_SERVER_USERS
: Comma, semicolon or whitespace separated list of user to be created. Example: user1,user2,admin. No defaultsZOO_SERVER_PASSWORDS
: Comma, semicolo or whitespace separated list of passwords to assign to users when created. Example: pass4user1, pass4user2, pass4admin. No defaultsZOO_ENABLE_AUTH
: Enable Zookeeper auth. It uses SASL/Digest-MD5. Default: noALLOW_ANONYMOUS_LOGIN
: If set to true, Allow to accept connections from unauthenticated users. Default: noJVMFLAGS
: Default JVMFLAGS for the ZooKeeper process. Default: -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m
docker run --name zookeeper -e ZOO_SERVER_ID=1 bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or using Docker Compose:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
environment:
- ZOO_SERVER_ID=1
The image looks for configuration in the conf/
directory of /bitnami/zookeeper
.
docker run --name zookeeper -v /path/to/my_custom_conf_directory:/bitnami/zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
After that, your changes will be taken into account in the server's behaviour.
Run the Zookeeper image, mounting a directory from your host.
docker run --name zookeeper -v /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or using Docker Compose:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper
Edit the configuration on your host using your favorite editor.
vi /path/to/zookeeper-persistence/conf/zoo.cfg
After changing the configuration, restart your Zookeeper container for changes to take effect.
docker restart zookeeper
or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose restart zookeeper
Authentication based on SASL/Digest-MD5 can be easily enabled by passing the ZOO_ENABLE_AUTH
env var.
When enabling the ZooKeeper authentication, it is also required to pass the list of users and passwords that will
be able to login.
docker run -it -e ZOO_ENABLE_AUTH=yes \
-e ZOO_SERVER_USERS=user1,user2 \
-e ZOO_SERVER_PASSWORDS=pass4user1,pass4user2 \
bitnami/zookeeper
or using Docker Compose:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
environment:
- ZOO_ENABLE_AUTH=yes
- ZOO_SERVER_USERS=user1,user2
- ZOO_SERVER_PASSWORDS=pass4user1,pass4user2
A Zookeeper (https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.1.2/zookeeperAdmin.html) cluster can easily be setup with the Bitnami Zookeeper Docker image using the following environment variables:
ZOO_SERVERS
: Comma or colon separated list of servers. Example: server.1=zoo1:2888:3888,server.2=zoo2:2888:3888. No defaults.
For reliable ZooKeeper service, you should deploy ZooKeeper in a cluster known as an ensemble. As long as a majority of the ensemble are up, the service will be available. Because Zookeeper requires a majority, it is best to use an odd number of machines. For example, with four machines ZooKeeper can only handle the failure of a single machine; if two machines fail, the remaining two machines do not constitute a majority. However, with five machines ZooKeeper can handle the failure of two machines.
You have to use 0.0.0.0 as the host for the server. More concretely, if the ID of the zookeeper1 container starting is 1, then the ZOO_SERVERS environment variable has to be server.1=0.0.0.0:2888:3888,server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888.server3=zookeeper3:2888:3888. See below:
Create a Docker network to enable visibility to each other via the docker container name
docker network create app-tier --driver bridge
The first step is to create one Zookeeper instance.
docker run --name zookeeper1 \
--network app-tier \
-e ZOO_SERVER_ID=1 \
-e ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=0.0.0.0:2888:3888,server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888,server.3=zookeeper3:2888:3888 \
-p 2181:2181 \
-p 2888:2888 \
-p 3888:3888 \
bitnami/zookeeper:latest
Next we start a new Zookeeper container.
docker run --name zookeeper2 \
--network app-tier \
-e ZOO_SERVER_ID=2 \
-e ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=zookeeper1:2888:3888,server.2=0.0.0.0:2888:3888,server.3=zookeeper3:2888:3888 \
-p 2181:2181 \
-p 2888:2888 \
-p 3888:3888 \
bitnami/zookeeper:latest
Next we start another new Zookeeper container.
docker run --name zookeeper3 \
--network app-tier \
-e ZOO_SERVER_ID=3 \
-e ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=zookeeper1:2888:3888,server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888,server.3=0.0.0.0:2888:3888 \
-p 2181:2181 \
-p 2888:2888 \
-p 3888:3888 \
bitnami/zookeeper:latest
You now have a two node Zookeeper cluster up and running. You can scale the cluster by adding/removing slaves without incurring any downtime.
With Docker Compose the ensemble can be setup using:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper1:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181'
- '2888'
- '3888'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper
environment:
- ZOO_SERVER_ID=1
- ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=0.0.0.0:2888:3888,server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888,server.3=zookeeper3:2888:3888
zookeeper2:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181'
- '2888'
- '3888'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper
environment:
- ZOO_SERVER_ID=2
- ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=zookeeper1:2888:3888,server.2=0.0.0.0:2888:3888,server.3=zookeeper3:2888:3888
zookeeper3:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181'
- '2888'
- '3888'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-persistence:/bitnami/zookeeper
environment:
- ZOO_SERVER_ID=3
- ZOO_SERVERS=server.1=zookeeper1:2888:3888,server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888,server.3=0.0.0.0:2888:3888
The Bitnami Zookeeper Docker image sends the container logs to the stdout
. To view the logs:
docker logs zookeeper
or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose logs zookeeper
You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver
option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file
driver.
To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:
docker stop zookeeper
or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose stop zookeeper
We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.
docker run --rm -v /path/to/zookeeper-backups:/backups --volumes-from zookeeper busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/zookeeper:latest /backups/latest
or using Docker Compose:
docker run --rm -v /path/to/zookeeper-backups:/backups --volumes-from `docker-compose ps -q zookeeper` busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/zookeeper:latest /backups/latest
Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the container.
docker run -v /path/to/zookeeper-backups/latest:/bitnami/zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or using Docker Compose:
version: '2'
services:
zookeeper:
image: 'bitnami/zookeeper:latest'
ports:
- '2181:2181'
volumes:
- /path/to/zookeeper-backups/latest:/bitnami/zookeeper
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Zookeeper, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.
docker pull bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or if you're using Docker Compose, update the value of the image property to
bitnami/zookeeper:latest
.
Before continuing, you should backup your container's data, configuration and logs.
Follow the steps on creating a backup.
docker rm -v zookeeper
or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose rm -v zookeeper
Re-create your container from the new image, restoring your backup if necessary.
docker run --name zookeeper bitnami/zookeeper:latest
or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose start zookeeper
- New release
