Hello,

You are running Kafka on localhost, presumably in Docker (or Docker Compose).

You are also running Kpow in Docker.

The bootstrap "127.0.0.1:9092" is most likely trying to connect to localhost within the Kpow docker container, rather than on the "host" localhost. This is a class local docker networking issue.

You can find more information about docker networking here:

One approach is to run Kpow on the same docker network as Kafka, something similar to:

--network compose_default

Or you can try connecting to a bootstrap with "host.docker.internal:9092" instead of "127.0.0.1:9092", much of this depends on how you're running Kafka locally.
