Hi,
I try to roll out a new keycloak installation based on quarkus with ansible.
I cannot find a solution to create the inital admin account in the master realm (including the password).
Has someone a hint for me?
Kind regards
Martin

Create a file e.g. in /etc/sysconfig with the env variables KEYCLOAK_ADMIN and KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD and their values (set the correct file permissions to secure it). Use this as EnvironmentFile in the systemd unit so the process sources it. After starting Keycloak the first time, you can delete the lines out of the file using lineinfile.
I am using the sysconfig file for the database parameter, too. So I don't have them in the configuration file, but using the environment variables.

Interesting solution :-)
Are there no way to create the admin and his password by API or kcadm.sh before the first start of keycloak?

There is no kcadm.sh anymore. And how should the API be available before starting the process? 😅

Hmm, after installing keycloak 17.0 there is an kcadm.sh in the bin folder and it is working.
Yes, indeed, you are right, there is it again the chicken-egg-problem :-D
Ok, I will do it then as you suggested :-)
Thanks for helping

Oh, sorry, I thought the kcadm.sh is gone... My fault the add-user.sh is gone. 😅

You could track this issue for future changes of the process: #8549
