How to install without docker? #158

Closed shaharmor closed 5 years ago

shaharmor commented 5 years ago

Hi,

We would like to use kafka-pixy as a "sidecar-like" proxy installed along side our app, but we don't use docker, just normal VMs.

Any instructions on how to install kafka-pixy on Linux? (Specifically Ubuntu 16.04)

@shaharmor just grab the latest release form GitHub (e.g. v0.16.0), unpack and run the executable.

@horkhe Yeah I already saw that, opened the ticket before. I guess there is no systemd unit for this already. Will have to write my own.

Btw, are there any benchmarks for kafka-pixy? It looks like an awesome piece of software that greatly simplifies Kafka integrations.

Also, thanks for the project :)

Sorry I do not have concrete numbers at hand. But you can easily benchmark it for yourself using testconsumer and testproducer command line utils created specifically for that purpose. They are packaged in the release. Start them with --help to get a list of options. They both connect to kafka-pixy via gRPC.
