Getting started

To run UI for Apache Kafka, you can use either a pre-built Docker image or build it (or a jar file) yourself.

Quick start (Demo run)

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -e DYNAMIC_CONFIG_ENABLED=true provectuslabs/kafka-ui

Then access the web UI at http://localhost:8080

The command is sufficient to try things out. When you're done trying things out, you can proceed with a persistent installation

Persistent installation

services:
  kafka-ui:
    container_name: kafka-ui
    image: provectuslabs/kafka-ui:latest
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    environment:
      DYNAMIC_CONFIG_ENABLED: true
    volumes:
      - ~/kui/config.yml:/etc/kafkaui/dynamic_config.yaml

Please refer to our configuration page to proceed with further app configuration.
