II see that there are topics if I run the kafka commands within the kafka container.

[kafka@67c2d01edbab ~]$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server kafka:9092 --list
__consumer_offsets
my_connect_configs
my_connect_offsets
my_source_connect_statuses
postgres.public.customer

However if I change to localhost

[kafka@67c2d01edbab ~]$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --list

did you publish the internal ports to localhost? see https://docs.docker.com/network/#published-ports

[Albert T. Wong]

yes I think the problem has to due with how kafka advertises itself.

  kafka:
    image: quay.io/debezium/kafka:2.6
    ports:
      - 9092:9092
    depends_on:
      zookeeper:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT: zookeeper:2181
    healthcheck:
      test: /kafka/bin/kafka-cluster.sh cluster-id --bootstrap-server kafka:9092 || exit 1
      interval: 1s
      timeout: 60s
      retries: 60

so much monkey business. I got the answer from https://www.confluent.io/blog/kafka-listeners-explained/

  zookeeper:
    image: quay.io/debezium/zookeeper:2.6
    ports:
      - 2181:2181
      - 2888:2888
      - 3888:3888
    healthcheck:
      test: bash -c "exec 6<> /dev/tcp/localhost/2181"

  kafka:
