I am trying to replicate topics from one Kafka cluster to another using Mirror Maker.

I am using docker compose to create the following resources:

networks:
  local_kafka:
    name: local_kafka

services:
  zookeeper:
    image: confluentinc/cp-zookeeper:7.5.2
    container_name: zookeeper
    networks:
      - local_kafka
    environment:
      ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT_PORT: 2181
      ZOOKEEPER_TICK_TIME: 2000
      KAFKA_OPTS: "-Dzookeeper.4lw.commands.whitelist=*" # For easier local debugging of zookeeper issues.

  zookeeper2:
    image: confluentinc/cp-zookeeper:7.5.2
    container_name: zookeeper2
    networks:
      - local_kafka
    environment:
      ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT_PORT: 2181
      ZOOKEEPER_TICK_TIME: 2000
      KAFKA_OPTS: "-Dzookeeper.4lw.commands.whitelist=*" # For easier local debugging of zookeeper issues.

I am using the following Kafka Connect properties aftewards:

{
    "name": "local-to-remote-mirror",
    "config":{
        "connector.class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.mirror.MirrorSourceConnector",
        "tasks.max": "2",
        "topics": ".*",
        "replication.policy.separator": "",
        "source.cluster.alias": "",
        "target.cluster.alias": "",
        "source.cluster.bootstrap.servers": "http://broker1:9092",
        "target.cluster.bootstrap.servers": "http://broker2:9092",
        "offset-syncs.topic.location": "target",
        "offset-syncs.topic.replication.factor": "2",
        "sync.topic.acls.enabled": false,
        "sync.topic.configs.enabled": false,
        "replication.policy.class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.mirror.IdentityReplicationPolicy",

        "_comment": "Kafka Connect converter used to deserialize keys",
        "key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter",

        "_comment": "Kafka Connect converter used to deserialize values",
        "value.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter"
    }
}

Although, when I publish to a topic in broker1, nothing happens in broker2. I noticed through Kafka Connect UI that no tasks are running:

Is there something missing to make this replication work?

Thank you in advance.
