Docs Self-Managed Reference rpk Commands rpk registry rpk registry schema rpk registry schema create This is documentation for Self-Managed v23.3. To view the latest available version of the docs, see v24.2. rpk registry schema create Create a schema for the given subject. This uploads a schema to the registry, creating the schema if it does not exist. The schema type is detected by the filename extension: .avro or .avsc for Avro and .proto for Protobuf. You can manually specify the type with the --type flag. You may pass the references using the --reference flag, which accepts either a comma separated list of <name>:<subject>:<version> or a path to a file. The file must contain lines of name, subject, and version separated by a tab or space, or the equivalent in json / yaml format. Examples Create a Protobuf schema with subject foo: rpk registry schema create foo --schema path/to/file.proto Create an avro schema, passing the type via flags: rpk registry schema create foo --schema /path/to/file --type avro Create a Protobuf schema that references the schema in subject my_subject, version 1: rpk registry schema create foo --schema /path/to/file.proto --references my_name:my_subject:1 Usage rpk registry schema create SUBJECT --schema {filename} [flags] Flags Value Type Description -h, --help - Help for create. --references string Comma-separated list of references (name:subject:version) or path to reference file. --schema string Schema filepath to upload, must be .avro, .avsc, or .proto. --type string Schema type avro or protobuf ; overrides schema file extension. --config string Redpanda or rpk config file; default search paths are ~/.config/rpk/rpk.yaml, $PWD, and /etc/redpanda/redpanda.yaml. -X, --config-opt stringArray Override rpk configuration settings.
