Replica Setup running in Different Machine in LAN

Hi, I am running Kafka Single Node in two Ubuntu Desktop Computer in Docker in LAN, I want to make replica for both the node and whenever one machine fails then load should be transfer to another node. My question is:

  1. Is it possible to do?
  2. Can someone share me documentation to setup?

Also, in current deployment, I am not able to consume the message showing error that Group Coordinator reports different cluster ID. I am trying to consume by giving both the broker ID e.g. 192.168.1.100:9092,192.168.1.200:9092.

hey @PRAVP007

some question to properly understand your setup:

  • your running kafka single broker setup on each desktop machine, right?

I would highly recommend in setting up a multi node kafka cluster a failover mechaism is built in, in the kafka stack.

best,
