How to Containerized Keycloak With Mysql in Docker

Introduction

In this blog, we will create a docker-compose file that will run a Keycloak and MySQL instance as a docker container. Keycloak will connect to the MySQL database using JDBC.

Prerequisites

Docker must be running on your local machine.

What should be inside the project?

• The docker compose file
• keycloak/import-realm.json - This realm will imported into Keycloak once a new instance is created. This file is use in the exercise available at https://github.com/czetsuya/keycloak-angular-auth/blob/master/config/keycloak-auth-realm.json.
