# Bitnami package for Confluent Schema Registry ## What is Confluent Schema Registry? > Confluent Schema Registry provides a RESTful interface by adding a serving layer for your metadata on top of Kafka. It expands Kafka enabling support for Apache Avro, JSON, and Protobuf schemas. [Overview of Confluent Schema Registry](https://www.confluent.io) Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement. ## TL;DR ```console docker run --name schema-registry bitnami/schema-registry:latest ``` ## Why use Bitnami Images? * 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. * All our images are based on [**minideb**](https://github.com/bitnami/minideb) -a minimalist Debian based container image that gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution- or **scratch** -an explicitly empty image-. * All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with [Notation](https://notaryproject.dev/). [Check this post](https://blog.bitnami.com/2024/03/bitnami-packaged-containers-and-helm.html) to know how to verify the integrity of the images. * Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available. Looking to use Confluent Schema Registry in production? Try [VMware Tanzu Application Catalog](https://bitnami.com/enterprise), the commercial edition of the Bitnami catalog. ## Only the latest stable branch maintained in the free Bitnami catalog Starting December 10th, 2024, only the latest stable branch of each container image will receive updates in the free Bitnami catalog. To access up-to-date releases for all upstream-supported branches (e.g., LTS), consider upgrading to Bitnami Premium. Previously released versions will not be deleted and will remain available for pulling from DockerHub. Please check the Bitnami Premium page in our partner [Arrow Electronics](https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/na/vendors/bitnami?utm_source=GitHub&utm_medium=containers) for more information. ## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html). You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the `tags-info.yaml` file present in the branch folder, i.e `bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml`. Subscribe to project updates by watching the [bitnami/containers GitHub repo](https://github.com/bitnami/containers). ## Get this image The recommended way to get the Bitnami schema-registry Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/schema-registry). ```console docker pull bitnami/schema-registry:latest ``` To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/schema-registry/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry. ```console docker pull bitnami/schema-registry:[TAG] ``` If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values. ```console git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest . ``` ## Configuration ### Environment variables #### Customizable environment variables | Name | Description | Default Value | |---------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_MOUNTED_CONF_DIR` | Directory for including custom configuration files (that override the default generated ones) | `${SCHEMA_REGISTRY_VOLUME_DIR}/etc` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_BROKERS` | List of Kafka brokers to connect to. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME` | Advertised hostname in ZooKeeper. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` | Password to access the keystore. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_KEY_PASSWORD` | Password to be able to used ssl secured kafka broker with SR | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD` | Password to access the truststore. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_SASL_USER` | SASL user to authenticate with Kafka. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_SASL_PASSWORD` | SASL password to authenticate with Kafka. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS` | Comma-separated list of listeners that listen for API requests over either HTTP or HTTPS. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` | Password to access the SSL keystore. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_KEY_PASSWORD` | Password to access the SSL key. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD` | Password to access the SSL truststore. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM` | Endpoint identification algorithm to validate the server hostname using the server certificate. | `nil` | | `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION` | Client authentication configuration.

Please note that some variables are only considered when the container is started for the first time. If you want to add a new environment variable: * For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section in the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/schema-registry/docker-compose.yml) file present in this repository: ```yaml schema-registry: ... environment: - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_DEBUG=true ... ``` * For manual execution add a `--env` option with each variable and value: ```console $ docker run -d --name schema-registry -p 8081:8081 \ --env SCHEMA_REGISTRY_DEBUG=true \ --network schema-registry-tier \ --volume /path/to/schema-registry-persistence:/bitnami \ bitnami/schema-registry:latest ``` #### Kafka settings Please check the configuration settings for the Kakfa service in the [Kafka's README file](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/kafka#configuration). #### Zookeeper settings Please check the configuration settings for the Kakfa service in the [Zookeeper's README file](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/zookeeper#configuration). ### Security The Schema Registry container can be setup to serve clients securely via TLS. To do so, specify the listener protocol as **https** in the `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS` environment variable (e.g. SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS=`http://0.0.0.0:8081`,`https://0.0.0.0:8082`). The keystore and trustore **must** be mounted in the `/opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs` directory as `ssl.keystore.jks` and `ssl.truststore.jks` respectively. Currently, only JKS formats are supported. Note that the environment variables `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_KEYSTORE_LOCATION` or `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION` **will not** override the expected location or file names. Please follow the instructions provided or you will get this error at startup: *ERROR ==> In order to configure HTTPS access, you must mount your ssl.keystore.jks (and optionally the ssl.truststore.jks) to the /opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs directory*. Here is a `docker-compose.yml` example that exposes a TLS listener on port `8082`: ```yaml schema-registry: image: bitnami/schema-registry ports: - "8081:8081" - "8082:8082" depends_on: - kafka environment: - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKA_BROKERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092 - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_HOST_NAME=schema-registry - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS=http://0.0.0.0:8081,https://0.0.0.0:8082 - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=keystore - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=keystore - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM=none - SCHEMA_REGISTRY_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION=REQUESTED volumes: - ./keystore.jks:/opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs/keystore.jks:ro - ./truststore.jks:/opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs/truststore.jks:ro ``` ## Using `docker-compose.yaml` Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing.
