Hello Community,
I’m relatively new to the worlds of Kafka, LoRaWAN, and Kubernetes, and I’m currently working on integrating ChirpStack LoRaWAN (version 4.5) with Strimzi Kafka (version 3.6.0) in a Kubernetes environment (v1.27).
My goal is to establish secure communication between ChirpStack and Kafka, and I’ve encountered a challenge due to the absence of SSL support in ChirpStack and the requirement for username/password authentication in Kafka.
I’d greatly appreciate the community’s insights and guidance on potential workarounds or best practices to address this issue. Here are some specific details about my setup:
- Strimzi Kafka Version: 3.6.0
- ChirpStack LoRaWAN Version: 4.5
- Kubernetes Version: v1.27
If you have experience with a similar setup or if you can provide recommendations, workarounds, or insights into securing the communication between ChirpStack and Kafka in a Kubernetes environment, your assistance would be invaluable.
Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to learning from the community’s expertise.
Best regards,
Saravanan
