We have gathered a few ready-to-run Docker stacks in our public stack-play GitHub repository. But sometimes you need Kafka, Zookeeper and OpenNMS quickly on a baremetal deployment without Docker. Here a few quick notes how to get the bare minimum up and running.

Zookeeper

Install OpenJDK 11 JRE

sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jre

Create a user for zookeeper

sudo adduser --system --home /opt/zookeeper --disabled-login zookeeper

Create a logs directory

sudo mkdir /var/log/zookeeper
sudo chown zookeeper:nogroup /var/log/zookeeper -R

Install zookeeper
