Set Up Custom Keycloak Login ThemesPublic

The user wanted to create custom login themes for their organization's Keycloak server using Keycloakify. The assistant initially set up a manual structure but then switched to the official starter project for better compatibility. They fixed issues with the Maven wrapper script to enable building the theme properly and discussed how to contribute these improvements back to the Keycloakify project.

I'm trying to build custom login themes with keycloakify for my orgs keycloak server

I'll help you set up Keycloakify for building custom login themes. Let me first explore your repository to understand the current structure.

I can help you set up Keycloakify to build custom login themes. Let me create the project structure and integrate it with your existing Docker setup.

I've set up Keycloakify for your Keycloak server. Here's what was created:

Structure Created

themes/
├── package.json          # Keycloakify dependencies
├── vite.config.ts        # Vite + Keycloakify plugin config
├── tsconfig.json         # TypeScript config
├── src/
│   ├── main.tsx         # Entry point
│   └── keycloak-theme/
│       └── login/
│           └── Login.tsx # Sample login page
├── README.md            # Theme documentation
└── .gitignore

Quick Start (Recommended)

The sample Login.tsx uses an older API. For a complete, working setup:

bash

Build & Deploy

bash

Integration Complete

Dockerfile updated to copy theme JARs from themes/dist_keycloak/
build-themes.sh script created for easy theme building
Root README.md updated with full documentation

The themes will be automatically included when building your Docker image!

so did you use the official starter?

No, I created a basic structure manually. The code I wrote uses an older API that won't work with the latest Keycloakify.

That's why I recommended using the official starter instead:

bash

The official starter has:

Working page implementations
Proper KcContext types
i18n setup
Storybook stories
All dependencies correctly configured

The files I created give you the structure, but you'll need to replace them with the starter's files for a working theme.

so just do that

Done! I've replaced the themes directory with the official Keycloakify starter.

What was set up:

Official Keycloakify Starter cloned into themes/
Dependencies installed with npm install
Build attempted (requires Maven to complete the JAR packaging)

Important: You need Apache Maven installed to build the theme JAR:

bash

Then build the theme:

bash

Next steps:

Install Maven
Build the theme JAR
Build your Docker image: docker build -t keycloak .
The theme will be available as "keycloakify-starter" in Keycloak admin console

The starter includes all the login pages (Login, Register, Reset Password, etc.) pre-configured and ready to customize in themes/src/login/pages/.

I've added a maven wrapper. check to see if it works
