Hi

I need to install confluent-kafka in a Docker image on my NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano to use a Python script to send data to a Kafka broker. Currently, I have installed OpenSSL 3.3.1 using these commands.

#!/bin/bash

# Update and install necessary packages
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y wget unzip git build-essential software-properties-common lsb-release gcc make python3-pip python3-dev libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit krb5-user zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev libzstd>
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

pip3 install --upgrade pip

OPENSSL_VERSION="openssl-3.3.1"

# Create directories
mkdir -p /tmp/openssl

# Download and extract OpenSSL
cd /tmp/openssl
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/$OPENSSL_VERSION.tar.gz
tar -xvf $OPENSSL_VERSION.tar.gz

# Build and install OpenSSL
cd /tmp/openssl/$OPENSSL_VERSION
./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl
make
make install

# Update library configuration
echo "/usr/local/openssl/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl-$OPENSSL_VERSION.conf
ldconfig

# Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the new OpenSSL libraries
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/openssl/bin:$PATH

# Create symbolic links for OpenSSL
ln -sf /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
ln -sf /usr/local/openssl/include/openssl /usr/include/openssl

# Verify OpenSSL installation
/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl version

I am not sure the correct method to install both of them when build docker image, Could you please share the correct commands for installing librdkafka and confluent-kafka version 2.4.0 when building a Docker image?"

Hi,

Do you mean errors when building the image or testing the Kafka functionality?
If not, it should be fine.

Thanks.
