Currently ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID needs to be set otherwise container will fail to start.
Because ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID used as a template to fulfill zookeeper's myid file.

In Kubernetes environment, myid should be generated based on id of StatefulSet pod instance.
have you tried using kubernetes downward api for specifying the ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID?
something like this would generate the unique ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID based on the pod name
```
env:
- name: ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
fieldPath: metadata.name
I managed to make it work by specifying the docker container command at the kubernetes .yaml file as follows
command:
- /bin/bash
- -c
- export ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID=$((${HOSTNAME##*-}+1)) && /etc/confluent/docker/run
