Why is ./var/run.docker.sock needed?

It is needed to access the hosts Docker daemon from inside the container, i.e. 'Docker in Docker'. There are several places where this is used, none are required.

However, if this is omitted, the kafka-start.sh script will no longer be able to automatically determine the KAFKA_ADVERTISED_PORT. If this is required, please specify it manually in the environment.
