Zookeeper in Spring Cloud Dataflow keep disconnecting

I'm trying to start SCDF with docker. It starts fine, but when trying to deploy any stream I get the following errors in the app logs

I'm using spring-cloud-dataflow-server-local-1.1.4. And in application.properties:

spring.cloud.dataflow.applicationProperties.stream.spring.cloud.zookeeper.connect-string=zookeeper:2181
spring.cloud.dataflow.applicationProperties.stream.spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.brokers=kafka:9092
spring.cloud.dataflow.applicationProperties.stream.spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.zkNodes=zookeeper:2181
spring.cloud.dataflow.applicationProperties.stream.spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.offsetUpdateTimeWindow=15000

On subsequent runs I also get

Caused by: kafka.common.KafkaException: fetching topic metadata for topics [Set(test2.transform)] from broker [List()] failed
    at kafka.client.ClientUtils$.fetchTopicMetadata(ClientUtils.scala:72) ~[kafka_2.10-0.8.2.2.jar!/:na]
    ...

Solution

I don't know why but replacing docker images zookeeper and wurstmeister/kafka:latest with spotify/kafka (containing both Kafka and Zookeeper) made the entire setup work.
