Redpanda Container Setup

This project contains the configuration needed to spin up a Redpanda node inside a Docker container, optimized for local development and automated deployment.

Features

• SASL/SCRAM authentication enabled by default.
• Explicit topic creation during bootstrap (auto-create disabled).
• Configuration for Admin users (super_user) and application users (producer_user/consumer_user).
• ACLs configured to restrict access to the test topic.
• Support for VS Code Dev Containers.
• Automated deployment with GitHub Actions.

Credentials and Topics

By default, the following users and topics are created:

User	Password	Role
super_user	secretpassword	Administrator (all topics)
producer_user	producerpassword	Producer for test topic
consumer_user	consumerpassword	Consumer for test topic

• Topic: test (1 partition, 1 replica)

How to run locally

Ensure the network and volume exist:

docker network create siscom-network
docker volume create redpanda_data

Create your .env file from the example:

cp .env.example .env

(Optional) Edit .env to change default users and passwords.

Build and start:

docker-compose up -d --build

The setup runs automatically! You can monitor progress with:

docker logs -f redpanda-0

docker exec -it redpanda-0 rpk cluster info \
