Im trying to connect to the kubernetes minikube kafka pod from outside the kubernetes cluster.
The server starts without any problem but I cant manage to connect a local kafka producer/consumer to the external kafka pod.

On the kafka server image inside the cluster I set the bootstrap-server as:

bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic "test"

The service for the kafka server pod is set as:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: {{ .Chart.Name }}-service
spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
    - name: {{ .Chart.Name }}
      port: 9092
      nodePort: 30092
  selector:
    app: {{ .Chart.Name }}

The only kafka config that I set in the deployment are below for the listeners.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: {{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment
  labels:
    app: {{ .Chart.Name }}
spec:
  {{- if not .Values.autoscaling.enabled }}
  replicas: {{ .Values.deployment.replicaCount }}
  {{- end }}
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: {{ .Chart.Name }}
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: {{ .Chart.Name }}
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: {{ .Chart.Name }}
          image: "{{ .Values.deployment.image }}"
          imagePullPolicy: {{ .Values.deployment.pullPolicy }}
          command: {{ .Values.deployment.initCommand | toYaml | nindent 12 }}
          ports:
              - containerPort: 9092
                name: internal
              - containerPort: 9093
                name: controller
              - containerPort: 30092
                name: nodeport
          env:
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_ML
              value: {{ .Values.deployment.topic.nameML }}
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_ML_REPLICATION_FACTOR
              value: "{{ .Values.deployment.topic.replicationFactorML }}"
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_ML_PARTITIONS
              value: "{{ .Values.deployment.topic.partitionsML }}"
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_MILP
              value: {{ .Values.deployment.topic.nameMILP }}
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_MILP_REPLICATION_FACTOR
              value: "{{ .Values.deployment.topic.replicationFactorMILP }}"
            - name: KRAFT_TOPIC_MILP_PARTITIONS
              value: "{{ .Values.deployment.topic.partitionsMILP }}"

            - name: KAFKA_LISTENER_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_MAP
              value: "INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT,NODEPORT:PLAINTEXT,CONTROLLER:PLAINTEXT,PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,SSL:SSL,SASL_PLAINTEXT:SASL_PLAINTEXT,SASL_SSL:SASL_SSL"
            - name: KAFKA_LISTENERS
              value: "INTERNAL://0.0.0.0:9092,NODEPORT://0.0.0.0:30092,CONTROLLER://0.0.0.0:9093"
            - name: KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS
              value: "INTERNAL://localhost:9092,NODEPORT://localhost:30092"
            - name: KAFKA_INTER_BROKER_LISTENER_NAME
              value: "INTERNAL"
            - name: KAFKA_CONTROLLER_LISTENER
              value: "CONTROLLER"

When trying to connect to the kafka server locally on my machine with the local IP and PORT as 30092 I can find the broker and connect but when producing messages it doesnt show up on the consumer python side on the same IP and PORT.

I tried changing the kafka listeners config without any success.
