<![CDATA[Keycloak & Cloudron]]>I'm working with a volunteer team that's building an SSO system based on Keycloak. I don't know a ton about keycloak, but I've been trying to learn. I'm wondering if anyone here built an app with keycloak before and how they integrated the built-in LDAP to tie it in with Cloudron. I don't have a specific question so much as I'm curious to see if anyone else is using these tools together and if so, how?

@jdaviescoates Every time it updates it loses it's email config, so users can't get password resets etc.

I've kind of given up hoping it will be fixed. It just works on Elest.io, it's worth $10/m to me to have reliability.

I accept this is an unofficial package, and that's just how it goes. If I didn't mind being locked into Cloudron it looks like the on-board OIDC works nicely now, but that didn't exist when I set it up & I'd prefer data portability.

Fair enough. Although I guess it it were an official app you likely wouldn't have those issues.

I also read a post on there somewhere (which I've just spent ages trying but failing to find again) where someone was asking about details of Cloudron's OIDC implementation and features, and when I read it I thought of discussion I'd had with you and how it might be appropriate to not have Cloudron as the ultimate source of truth about users.

I'd love to understand more about to what extent having users primarily on Cloudron locks you into using Cloudron 🤔

Wouldn't it be nice/ good to have it on Cloudron too?

Or are you just tired of waiting for that to happen?

Or are there reasons you'd use Elest.io over Cloudron even if you were starting afresh and it was on Cloudron? If so, what are those reasons?

Thanks!

I can update the themes on that one. I'm considering moving a second instance across.

Did you set the following in /app/data/conf/keycloak.conf?

spi-theme-static-max-age = -1
spi-theme-cache-themes = false
spi-theme-cache-templates = false

I'm considering just moving my instance to alternative hosting.

I've done the theme bit, it works on my non-Cloudron installs. The Cloudron instance just seems to ignore the files though.

I can try to get my sister on here, she did the theming for one of our keycloaks on Cloudron and cursed a lot while doing that 😄

I've tried the folder & jar approaches without success so far. They don't show up in the Keycloak webui

I am using the Keycloak app now in production 🙂 soooooooo if something breaks on updates I will know it first.

Got some question that need answers that my searches could not.

From a documentation and integration perspective, Keycloak is widely used in the documentation of various FOSS and proprietary software.
If Cloudron - the company - is able to provide more documentation and integration guidance (perhaps with the help of the community), the gap between Keycloak and Cloudron may be smaller in the future.
From an IAM perspective, I have no idea if Cloudron - the platform and the company - is ready to support more enterprise features.
IMHO: if you are happy with Cloudron's OIDC features, you are well served by Cloudron and don't need any more features from Keycloak.
IMHO: Having Keycloak in a private repo to have it as an app on Cloudron is a quick way to have a development environment for your software development. In this case: Keycloak is just another app on Cloudron among the other 100+ apps to fulfill your needs in projects or your personal digital life.

Isn't CR moving over to a similar auth mechanism? The nerd in me wants to deploy this, but not sure what it gives me beyond what's already provided by CR?

@BrutalBirdie Ah nice, so this works with the latest version ? I think that is what @Sam_uk was facing a while ago.

I upgraded the latest version from his git repo to the latest upstream version.
And as far as I could tell it worked.

It's a shame if it had happened a week earlier, or I'd known it was going to happen I wouldn't have spent the time migrating.
