Adding `/opt/kafka/bin/` to `$PATH` in `apache/kafka` Docker image without KIP

Would it require a KIP to add /opt/kafka/bin/ to the $PATH on the apache/kafka docker image?

General rule I was told, if it effects the user it requires a kip

Makes sense…not sure I want to go through that process. But for example:

docker run -it apache/kafka:3.8.0 kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server some-url:9092 --list

doesn’t work. You need to:

docker run -it apache/kafka:3.8.0 /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server some-url:9092 --list

The bitnami kafka images have the commands in the path.
