After installing and enabling Kafka in Kraft mode, create "/var/db/kafka-kraft/meta.properties" with 'node.id' and 'version'. The 'node-id' should match what's in "server.properties". Version always starts at 1 and is auto-incremented by Kafka.
pkg install -y kafka
sysrc kafka_config="/usr/local/etc/kafka/kraft/server.properties"
service kafka enable
cat << EOF >/var/db/kafka-kraft/meta.properties
cluster.id=$(/usr/local/share/java/kafka/bin/kafka-storage.sh random-uuid)
node.id=1
version=1
EOF
chown kafka:kafka /var/db/kafka-kraft/meta.properties
service kafka start
