Failed to resolve "Connection refused" Issue

[Harshitha1698]

Encountering issues when running the Python script. Despite modifying bootstrap server names based on previously resolved issues, the problem persists.

Further assistance would be beneficial if I'm overlooking any crucial details or if there are specific aspects of the issue that require attention.

Which python script do you mean? Have you run the python script in a container? It looks like your script can not connect to your broker because its not in the same network. Maybe it would help to use the external port, which kafka is exposing :9092.

[Harshitha1698]

I have created Python script, utilising Confluent Kafka to consume location messages from the 'location_topic'. Let me try using external port.

The best way would be if you integrate the script into an additional container and put this container into the same docker network (defined inside the docker-compose.yml file).

Please feel free to give feedback, if it worked out, and close the issue.

I have created separate docker file for Consumer and defined it in docker-compose.yml already.

[densalzmann]

Ok. Does it work out? Or you are getting the same issue? Then I would need more data, so I can help: your docker-compose file, bootstrap server definition in your script.

My initial implementaion was having seperate docker file for consumer yet was facing the same issue.
