Pass env variables starting with CONNECT_ to configure connect-distributed.properties.
For example, If you want to set offset.flush.interval.ms=15000, use CONNECT_OFFSET_FLUSH_INTERVAL_MS=15000

• (required) CONNECT_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS
• (recommended): CONNECT_GROUP_ID (default value: connect-cluster)
• (recommended) CONNECT_REST_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME
• (recommended) CONNECT_REST_ADVERTISED_PORT

Other connect configuration fields are optional. (see also Kafka Connect Configs)

If you want to run additional connectors, add connector JARs to ${KAFKA_HOME}/connectors in container.

FROM 1ambda/kafka-connect:latest

# same as `cp -R connectors/ $KAFKA_HOME/`
# the entrypoint will extends `$CLASSPATH` 
# like `export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${KAFKA_HOME}/connectors/*`

COPY connectors $KAFKA_HOME/connectors
