mkdir -p /kafka-vol/zk-txn-logs
mkdir -p /kafka-vol/kafka-data

# Make sure the user has the read and write permissions.
chown -R 1000:1000 /kafka-vol/zk-data
chown -R 1000:1000 /kafka-vol/zk-txn-logs
chown -R 1000:1000 /kafka-vol/kafka-data

ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman stop -t 2s sb2b-zookeeper

[Install]
WantedBy=local.target

save the file

Enable the service

systemctl enable zookeeper-container.service

Start the service

systemctl start zookeeper-container.service

Check the status of the service

systemctl status zookeeper-container.service
