rpk redpanda start

Start Redpanda.

Setting up a mode

It's possible to setup a mode for redpanda to start. Currently we support the mode dev-container.

To set up the mode dev-container run:

rpk redpanda start --mode dev-container

Mode uses well-known configuration properties for development or tests environments:

Bundled flags:

• --overprovisioned
• --reserve-memory 0M
• --check=false
• --unsafe-bypass-fsync

Bundled cluster properties:

• auto_create_topics_enabled: true
• group_topic_partitions: 3
• storage_min_free_bytes: 10485760 (10MiB)
• topic_partitions_per_shard: 1000
• fetch_reads_debounce_timeout: 10

After redpanda starts you can modify the cluster properties using:

rpk config set <key> <value>
