Apache ZooKeeper is a software project of the Apache Software Foundation, providing an open source distributed configuration service, synchronization service, and naming registry for large distributed systems. ZooKeeper was a sub-project of Hadoop but is now a top-level project in its own right.
$ docker run --name some-zookeeper --restart always -d 31z4/zookeeper
This image includes EXPOSE 2181 2888 3888 (the zookeeper client port, follower port, election port respectively), so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers. Since the Zookeeper "fails fast" it's better to always restart it.
$ docker run --name some-app --link some-zookeeper:zookeeper -d application-that-uses-zookeeper
$ docker run -it --rm --link some-zookeeper:zookeeper 31z4/zookeeper zkCli.sh -server zookeeper
... via docker-compose
Example docker-compose.yml for zookeeper:
version: '2'
services:
zoo1:
image: 31z4/zookeeper
restart: always
ports:
- 2181:2181
environment:
ZOO_MY_ID: 1
ZOO_SERVERS: server.1=zoo1:2888:3888 server.2=zoo2:2888:3888 server.3=zoo3:2888:3888
zoo2:
image: 31z4/zookeeper
restart: always
ports:
- 2182:2181
environment:
ZOO_MY_ID: 2
ZOO_SERVERS: server.1=zoo1:2888:3888 server.2=zoo2:2888:3888 server.3=zoo3:2888:3888
zoo3:
image: 31z4/zookeeper
restart: always
ports:

environment:
ZOO_MY_ID: 3
ZOO_SERVERS: server.1=zoo1:2888:3888 server.2=zoo2:2888:3888 server.3=zoo3:2888:3888This will start Zookeeper in replicated mode. Run docker-compose up and wait for it to initialize completely. Ports 2181-2183 will be exposed.
Please be aware that setting up multiple servers on a single machine will not create any redundancy. If something were to happen which caused the machine to die, all of the zookeeper servers would be offline. Full redundancy requires that each server have its own machine. It must be a completely separate physical server. Multiple virtual machines on the same physical host are still vulnerable to the complete failure of that host.
Consider using Docker Swarm when running Zookeeper in replicated mode.
Zookeeper configuration is located in /conf. One way to change it is mounting your config file as a volume:
$ docker run --name some-zookeeper --restart always -d -v $(pwd)/zoo.cfg:/conf/zoo.cfg 31z4/zookeeper
ZooKeeper recommended defaults are used if zoo.cfg file is not provided. They can be overridden using the following environment variables.
$ docker run -e "ZOO_INIT_LIMIT=10" --name some-zookeeper --restart always -d 31z4/zookeeper
Defaults to 2000. ZooKeeper's tickTime
The length of a single tick, which is the basic time unit used by ZooKeeper, as measured in milliseconds. It is used to regulate heartbeats, and timeouts. For example, the minimum session timeout will be two ticks
Defaults to 5. ZooKeeper's initLimit
Amount of time, in ticks (see tickTime), to allow followers to connect and sync to a leader. Increased this value as needed, if the amount of data managed by ZooKeeper is large.
Defaults to 2. ZooKeeper's syncLimit
Amount of time, in ticks (see tickTime), to allow followers to sync with ZooKeeper. If followers fall too far behind a leader, they will be dropped.
Defaults to 60. ZooKeeper's maxClientCnxns
Limits the number of concurrent connections (at the socket level) that a single client, identified by IP address, may make to a single member of the ZooKeeper ensemble.
Environment variables below are mandatory if you want to run Zookeeper in replicated mode.
The id must be unique within the ensemble and should have a value between 1 and 255. Do note that this variable will not have any effect if you start the container with a /data directory that already contains the myid file.
This variable allows you to specify a list of machines of the Zookeeper ensemble. Each entry has the form of server.id=host:port:port. Entries are separated with space. Do note that this variable will not have any effect if you start the container with a /conf directory that already contains the zoo.cfg file.
This image is configured with volumes at /data and /datalog to hold the Zookeeper in-memory database snapshots and the transaction log of updates to the database, respectively.
Be careful where you put the transaction log. A dedicated transaction log device is key to consistent good performance. Putting the log on a busy device will adversely affect performance.
