$> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xitonix/trubka/master/docker-compose.yml
$> docker-compose up

Authentication

If your Kafka cluster has SASL or TLS enabled, Trubka's got your back. You can inject SASL credentials or TLS certs into all the commands that communicate with your Kafka cluster using the provided flags.

--sasl-mechanism=none      SASL authentication mechanism.
-U, --sasl-username=SASL-USERNAME
                           SASL authentication username. Will be ignored if --sasl-mechanism is set to none.
-P, --sasl-password=SASL-PASSWORD
                           SASL authentication password. Will be ignored if --sasl-mechanism is set to none.
--sasl-version=v1          SASL handshake version. Will be ignored if --sasl-mechanism is set to none.


--tls                      Enables TLS (Unverified by default).
--ca-cert=CA-CERT          Trusted root certificates for verifying the server.
--client-cert=CLIENT-CERT  Client certification file to enable mutual TLS authentication.
--client-key=CLIENT-KEY    Client private key file to enable mutual TLS authentication.
