• All existing container images have been migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.

I encountered the same issue:

It seems the latest tag for the Bitnami Kafka image is no longer available.

As a workaround, I replaced the Bitnami image with the Confluent Kafka image, which works perfectly in KRaft mode (no Zookeeper required).
Here’s my working docker-compose.yml configuration for a 3-broker Kafka cluster with Kafka UI:
