Start Redpanda.

Set up a mode

You can set up a mode for Redpanda to use on start.

To set up the dev-container mode, run:

rpk redpanda start --mode dev-container

The mode uses well-known configuration properties for development and test environments:

Bundled flags:

• --overprovisioned

• --reserve-memory 0M

• --check=false

• --unsafe-bypass-fsync

Bundled cluster properties:

• write_caching_default: true

• 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 by running:

rpk config set <key> <value>
