Kafka in KRaft Mode with Podman: NullPointerException When Reconnecting via SSH

I am just getting started with Kafka and encountered a bit strange behavior.

When starting the podman container of bitnami/kafka:4.0.0 image in KRaft mode, I am able to run kafka-console-consumer and kafka-console-producer from the container, but if I close the ssh session and open new one, I can not run it anymore and getting the NullPointer exception below.

If I remove old and start a new container from the new ssh session, it works again.

I tried comparing env variables across ssh sessions, they are identical. Any ideas what could I try?

podman run -d --name kafka \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_PROCESS_ROLES=broker,controller \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_NODE_ID=1 \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_CONTROLLER_QUORUM_VOTERS=1@localhost:9093 \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://:9092,CONTROLLER://:9093 \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092,CONTROLLER://localhost:9093 \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_CONTROLLER_LISTENER_NAMES=CONTROLLER \
  -e KAFKA_CFG_LOG_DIRS=/opt/bitnami/kafka/data \
  -p 9092:9092 \
  -p 9093:9093 \
  bitnami/kafka:4.0.0

user@host:~$ podman exec -it kafka kafka-console-producer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test-topic
