Who is this for and what problem do they have today?
For users of
rpk container
commands, specificallyrpk container start
, they're purposely choosing to not interface directly with Docker. If there's a problem starting Redpanda, users will often just see an error like:What are the success criteria?
User should receive a more descriptive message about why Redpanda is not running instead of just that
rpk
cannot connect to the admin/kafka api ports.Why is solving this problem impactful?
It surfaces the root cause of the failure and not a consequence (i.e. lack of network connection to the cluster). The actual error can be shared with others (support, community Slack, etc.) and cut down on time wasted troubleshooting.
