Hi Team,

    I would like to tell to review the document visible on https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-docker. When ever a new member tries to run it in their machine it causing an error.
    **Current Outcome:** When i am trying to run the keycloak by executing the exact command with changing the port number to 8090 & keeping the same as 8080 the console window/screen is not visible.
    **Expected Outcome:** The command should work and the admin window should be visible.
    **Description:**

When i am trying with this command
Command: docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.8.0 start-dev
The admin console window is not visible and the status is showing as failed and the response is null. But when i am giving the same command without giving the IP address of localhost it is showing it as HTTPS required.
Again tried by giving strict configuration --hostname-strict-https=false --http-enabled=true at this time the command execution is failed. Could you please review it and give me a solution for this.

My System Specs:

AWS EC2 Server with Amazon Linux 2023
Instance type is c7i-flex.large with 20Gib of storage

Finally it is working on the instance by using these commands
docker run -p 8090:8080 -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.8.0 start-dev
docker exec -it "Your_IP_address" /bin/bash /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh config credentials \ --server http://localhost:8080 \ --realm master \ --user admin \ --password admin /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh update realms/master -s sslRequired=NONE

Here after executing the docker keycloak container creating command. I am going into the Keycloak container and making SSl required to None. Make sure this is only for the developing or learning purpose.
