Jordan Moore commented on KAFKA-9774:
-------------------------------------

[~rhauch] & [~kkonstantine] , lemme know your thoughts here. 

Here's the current design
 # Use Jib to build the image <https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib>
 # Follow similar practices as the confluentinc/cp-docker image in that the 
CONNECT_ variables are templated into the worker property file. I'd planned on 
using FreeMarker to do this, but later realized that's probably overkill.
 # Wrap ConnectDistributed with a small class that just initializes that file 
from the environment variables.
 # Maybe add some additional verification around expected variables.
 # Write up some documentation that would be hosted in DockerHub
 # Ping someone in Docker official-images repo to get this put up there.

Yes, right now the above repo is built in Maven, and just a branch of some 
Kafka Stream stuff I did before. That is all fixable of course, no problem.

> This is a ticket for creating an *official* apache/kafka-connect Docker 
> image. 
> Does this need a KIP?  -  I don't think so. This would be a new feature, not 
> any API change. 
> Why is this needed?
>  # Kafka Connect is stateless. I believe this is why a Kafka image is not 
> created?
>  # It scales much more easily with Docker and orchestrators. It operates much 
> like any other serverless / "microservice" web application 
>  # People struggle with deploying it because it is packaged _with Kafka_ , 
> which leads some to believe it needs to _*run* with Kafka_ on the same 
> machine. 
> I think there is separate ticket for creating an official Docker image for 
> Kafka but clearly none exist. I reached out to Confluent about this, but 
> heard nothing yet.
