rpk redpanda config bootstrap
Initialize the configuration to bootstrap a cluster.
This command generates a redpanda.yaml
configuration file to bootstrap a
cluster. If you are modifying the configuration file further, it is recommended
to first bootstrap and then modify. If the file already exists, this command
will set fields as requested by flags, and this may undo some of your earlier
edits.
The --ips
flag specifies seed servers (ips, ip:ports, or hostnames) that this
broker will use to form a cluster.
By default, redpanda
expects your machine to have one private IP address, and
redpanda
will listen on it. If your machine has multiple private IP addresses,
you must use the --self
flag to specify which ip redpanda
should listen on.
