pm-keycloak

Keycloak deployment with declarative realm configuration via keycloak-config-cli.

Stack

Keycloak 26.5.4 — identity and access management
PostgreSQL 16 — persistent storage
keycloak-config-cli 6.5.0 — declarative realm configuration

Installation

Prerequisites

Docker and Docker Compose

Setup

cd compose
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your credentials:

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=pm-keycloak
KC_DB_PASSWORD=<your-db-password>
KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin
KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<your-admin-password>

Start

docker compose up -d

Keycloak is available at http://localhost:8080.

keycloak-config-cli runs once at startup, applies all realm configuration files, then exits. This is expected behavior.

Configuration

Realm configuration files live in compose/keycloak-config/. Each .yaml file maps to one realm.

Apply configuration changes

After editing a realm file:

docker compose run --rm keycloak-config-cli

File structure

compose/keycloak-config/
├── master-realm.yaml   # minimal patch of the master realm
└── demo-realm.yaml     # example realm with roles and clients

Managed mode

IMPORT_MANAGED_REALM: full is set, meaning keycloak-config-cli is the source of truth for each realm it manages. Anything not declared in a YAML file will be removed from Keycloak on the next apply.
