Is Schema registry mandatory for Kafka-connect?

when i tried to run Kafka without schema registry,

I got an error like

CONNECT_VALUE_CONVERTER_SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL is required.
Command [/usr/local/bin/dub ensure CONNECT_VALUE_CONVERTER_SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL] FAILED !

Is schema registry mandatory for setting up kafka connect? But I didn't find any words like this from the confluent official documentation.

The Registry is only required if you're using Confluent Converters that do need it, for example their AvroConverter, ProtobufConverter, or JsonSchemaConverter; it is not required for Connect itself.

If you want to run Connect in a container with minimal dependencies, see my image here - https://github.com/OneCricketeer/apache-kafka-connect-docker
