Kafka docker - ERROR: "Unable to find leader for partition 0" - docker

Question

Below is part of my YML file for zookeeper and Kafka Dockers
Ive added "KAFKA_CREATE_TOPICS" variable to create topics at startup
but it takes long time to create all 6 topics. so every time I bring dockers down and up, I need to wait untill all topics created
*the solution to create topics by kafkaProducer is not good for me
when kafka/zookeeper are up, I want them to remember all topics so I added volumes to Zookeeper, it worked and now topic exist on startup, but I cannot consume any topic because I get the following ERROR:
"Unable to find leader for partition 0"
