I don't have any major objections to including a docker-compose file based off the Confluent images.

It looks like you've used a mix of confluent versions, latest, 6.0.0 and 6.0.1.
6.0.1, is also far from the latest (7.3.3)
It also might be nicer to have the PLC4X version as an environment variable so it is easier to find when changing it for a release.
I'm guessing you've grabbed a base docker-compose file from Confluent, can you confirm where you got it from so that we can check what license it was released under?

| ### Start with Docker | ||
| If you want to use PLC4x with Kafka on Docker, simply download the docker-compose.yml file, configure the necessary port and IP settings, and start the containers. The available docker-compose.yml file includes four containers: zookeeper, kafka, kafka connect, and control-center. The control-center container provides a web interface to facilitate the configuration of kafka connect. If you don't want to use it, you can remove it from the docker-compose.yml file. |

Minor Formatting with PLC4x, should be PLC4X

Yeah ... having a look ... it would be nicer if the PR referenced the Apache Kafka images and not the confluent ones. |
|
Please ignore my last comment ... a quick search on DockerHub showed me that there is no official Apache Kafka docker image, but only those provided by third-parties. |
|
Buuuuut digging even deeper ... I noticed the "cp-enterprise-control-center" image and that sounded non-Apache and indeed ... this is proprietary Confluent stuff that's under the "(Confluent Enterprise License)". So if this is a requirement for this to work, we will not be able to accept this PR. |
Hi, it makes sense. But I want this to work. If I add a comment with the image name like If not, I can remove the docker-compose.yml file and rewrite the readme.md to explain how to do this with Docker. |

So if you remove the proprietary enterprise manner thing, sure. I did see that there is no official "apache" distribution. |

This pull request adds a section to the documentation in the README file located at https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/develop/plc4j/integrations/apache-kafka to describe how to use Kafka and PLC4X with Docker using docker-compose.
Additionally, it includes a docker-compose.yml file that can be used to start four containers: Zookeeper, Kafka, Kafka Connect, and Control Center. The docker-compose.yml file also includes comments that describe the necessary configurations to enable Kafka and PLC4X to communicate correctly.
