Dear All,

Hope you are doing well and having a good week. Thank you for your support. We are trying to install keycloak instance using keycloak operator as per Getting started operator kubernetes. However, it is not getting ready and no pods activity can be viewed. Any support/guidance is appreciated.

We were able to install the operator

debian@cloudcore:~$ kubectl get csv -n my-keycloak-operator -o wide
NAME                        DISPLAY             VERSION   REPLACES                    PHASE
keycloak-operator.v15.1.0   Keycloak Operator   15.1.0    keycloak-operator.v15.0.2   Succeeded

However, following the next step to install the instance. We executed kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keycloak/keycloak-quickstarts/latest/operator-examples/mykeycloak.yaml . After a few minutes, Keycloak cluster should be up and running.

However, it is not ready even after 37 mins

debian@cloudcore:~$ kubectl get keycloak/mykeycloak -o jsonpath='{.status.ready}'
debian@cloudcore:~$

debian@cloudcore:~$ kubectl get keycloak/mykeycloak
NAME         AGE
mykeycloak   37m

kubectl describe keycloak also doesn't provide any useful information

debian@cloudcore:~$ kubectl describe keycloak/mykeycloak

Hi @bitvijays !
Thanks a lot for reaching out, can you confirm the environment where you are trying to run Keycloak (Openshift /Minikube / ...)?

I suspect that your problem is caused by the fact that the keycloak-operator is not watching the default namespace where you are installing the CR.
Can you please share the output of this command:

kubectl exec --tty deployment/keycloak-operator -n my-keycloak-operator -- /usr/bin/env | grep WATCH_NAMESPACE

If the environment variable WATCH_NAMESPACE is defined than you need to install the CR in the specific namespace, for example:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keycloak/keycloak-quickstarts/latest/operator-examples/mykeycloak…

Let me know if this helps.

@andreaTP Thank you very much! That solves it! Really appreciate the quick response 👍

Have a minor query, in the documentation Getting started operator kubernetes, in the section Login to Keycloak Admin Console with Keycloak Operator to get the routes, we have mentioned oc to find the URLs for the keycloak. Shouldn't it be kubectl command?

$ KEYCLOAK_URL=https://$(oc get route keycloak --template='{{ .spec.host }}')/auth &&
echo "" &&
echo "Keycloak:                 $KEYCLOAK_URL" &&
echo "Keycloak Admin Console:   $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin" &&
echo "Keycloak Account Console: $KEY
8000
CLOAK_URL/realms/myrealm/account" &&
echo ""
Keycloak:                 https://keycloak-default.apps.cluster-slaskawi-11a6.slaskawi-11a6.example.opentlc.com/auth
Keycloak Admin Console:   https://keycloak-default.apps.cluster-slaskawi-11a6.slaskawi-11a6.example.opentlc.com/auth/admin
Keycloak Account Console: https://keycloak-default.apps.cluster-slaskawi-11a6.slaskawi-11a6.example.opentlc.com/auth/realms/myrealm/account

@bitvijays the guide you are following covers the installation on OpenShift, please refer to this guide if you are using minikube:

https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-kube

Hope this answer your question!

Hiya @andreaTP Thank you....I am using Kubernetes on bare metal. But I think...that ip would be the IP of the load balancer. So, it's okay. Thank you for your support ☺️
