Keycloak: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Keycloak, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a Keycloak cloud service that makes it easy to deploy a production-ready identity provider in just 2 minutes:

  • Unlimited users, realms, and clients
  • Supports OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, social login, LDAP, and Active Directory federation
  • Custom domain name with built-in HTTPS for secure access (for example, https://login.your-company.com)
  • Custom themes: easily brand your login pages, account console, and emails with the included online editor
  • Dedicated email server with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, so account confirmations and password resets are handled for you
  • Built-in PostgreSQL database, with the administration console available on its own dedicated, closable port
  • One-click updates keep your system up to date without manual intervention

Spend your time building, not configuring: you can try out Stackhero's Keycloak cloud solution in less than 5 minutes.

You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.

# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx

# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if needed)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
  --service=svc-xxxxxx \
  --configuration='{ "...": "..." }'

# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx

That's it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated way. To learn more, refer to the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
