I'm trying to build custom login themes with keycloakify for my orgs keycloak server
The user wants to build custom login themes with Keycloakify for their Keycloak server. Let me understand what they need:
First, I should check if there's already any Keycloakify setup or theme-related files in the current repository. Let me explore the codebase to understand the current structure.
I'll help you set up Keycloakify for building custom login themes. Let me first explore your repository to understand the current structure.
The repository appears to be a Keycloak custom image setup with Docker and Terraform. I can see:
There's no Keycloakify setup yet. Keycloakify is a tool that allows building custom Keycloak themes using React/TypeScript. Let me help the user set it up.
Keycloakify themes are built as separate projects and then the built artifacts are included in the Keycloak Docker image. I should:
Let me first check their Dockerfile to understand how themes should be integrated.
Good! I can see their Dockerfile. Now I need to help them set up Keycloakify. Keycloakify is typically set up as a separate project that builds theme JAR files which can then be copied into the Keycloak Docker image.
Let me create a Keycloakify setup for them. The structure would be:
themes/ directory for the Keycloakify projectKeycloakify requires:
Let me set this up for them.
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.
Now I have a good understanding of Keycloakify. Let me help the user set it up. Based on the documentation:
/opt/keycloak/providers in Keycloakthemes/ directory with a Keycloakify projectLet me create:
themes/ directory with the Keycloakify starter setupLet me start by creating the themes directory and package.json.
Let me start creating the Keycloakify project structure. I'll create the basic files needed for a Keycloakify theme project.
>mkdir -p /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/src/keycloak-theme/loginNow let me create the package.json for the Keycloakify project.
Good! Now let me create the Vite configuration file.
Now let me create the Vite configuration and other necessary files.
Those errors are expected since the dependencies haven't been installed yet. Now let me create the entry point and a basic login page theme.
Now let me create the login page and update the todo list. The LSP errors are expected since dependencies haven't been installed. Let me create the login page component.
Now I need to create a basic login page. Keycloakify uses a specific pattern where you import components from the library and customize them. Let me create the login page.
The login page is quite complex and requires additional files. Let me create a simpler approach using the Keycloakify starter structure. Instead of creating all the files manually, I should create the essential entry files that Keycloakify expects. Let me simplify this by creating the KcContext, i18n, and the main KcPage files that the starter template provides.
>cat > /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/src/keycloak-theme/KcContext.ts << 'EOF'
import type { KcContext as KcContextBase } from 'keycloakify/login/KcContext'
export type KcContext =
| KcContextBase.Login
| KcContextBase.Register
| KcContextBase.Info
| KcContextBase.Error
| KcContextBase.LoginResetPassword
| KcContextBase.LoginVerifyEmail
| KcContextBase.LoginOtp
| KcContextBase.LoginUpdateProfile
| KcContextBase.LoginIdpLinkConfirm
| KcContextBase.LoginIdpLinkEmail
| KcContextBase.LoginPageExpired
| KcContextBase.LoginConfigTotp
| KcContextBase.LoginOauth2DeviceVerifyUserCode
| KcContextBase.LoginOauthGrant
| KcContextBase.LogoutConfirm
| KcContextBase.UpdateEmail
| KcContextBase.IdpReviewUserProfile
| KcContextBase.WebauthnAuthenticate
| KcContextBase.WebauthnRegister
| KcContextBase.Code
| KcContextBase.DeleteCredential
| KcContextBase.FrontendServlet
| KcContextBase.SamlPostForm
| KcContextBase.SelectAuthenticator
| KcContextBase.Terms
EOFLet me take a different approach. Instead of manually creating all these files (which is complex), let me recommend the user use the official Keycloakify starter template. This will be much easier for them and provide a better starting point.
However, I've already created the basic structure, so let me complete the remaining tasks: update the Dockerfile and create a README for themes. Then I'll provide instructions on how to proceed.
Now let me update the Dockerfile to include the themes. I need to copy the built JAR file from the themes directory.
Now I need to update the Dockerfile to copy the theme JAR file. The keycloakify build creates a JAR in the dist_keycloak directory. Let me update the Dockerfile.
Good! Now let me create a README for the themes directory and add a .gitignore. Then I'll provide instructions on how to set up the full keycloakify project using the starter template.
Now let me add a build script at the root level and update the todo list. I should also create a simple build script that users can run.
Let me create a build script and update the root README with instructions.
>chmod +x /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/build-themes.shGood! Now let me update the root README.md to include information about themes and update the todo list to mark everything as complete.
Let me update the README with comprehensive information about the themes setup.
The LSP errors are expected since the dependencies haven't been installed yet. Let me mark the tasks as complete and provide a summary. The basic structure is set up, but I should recommend the user to use the official Keycloakify starter for a more complete setup.
Perfect! Now let me provide a summary to the user. The structure is set up, but the sample Login.tsx file has some issues because Keycloakify v11 has a different API. The LSP errors are expected since npm install hasn't been run.
Let me provide clear instructions to the user on how to proceed.
I've set up Keycloakify for your Keycloak server. Here's what was 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└── .gitignoreThe sample Login.tsx uses an older API. For a complete, working setup:
# Use the official starter insteadrm -rf themes/git clone https://github.com/keycloakify/keycloakify-starter.git themescd themesnpm installnpm run build-keycloak-themecd ..# Build themes and Docker image./build-themes.shdocker build -t keycloak .docker run -p 8080:8080 keycloakthemes/dist_keycloak/The themes will be automatically included when building your Docker image!
so did you use the official starter?
The user is asking if I used the official Keycloakify starter. I did not - I created a basic structure manually. The files I created are a minimal setup, but the code I wrote (especially the Login.tsx) uses an older/incorrect API that won't work with the latest Keycloakify.
I should be honest that I created a basic structure manually, but I also recommended using the official starter instead since the code I wrote won't work properly.
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:
rm -rf themes/git clone https://github.com/keycloakify/keycloakify-starter.git themescd themesnpm installnpm run build-keycloak-themeThe official starter has:
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
The user wants me to replace the themes directory I created with the official Keycloakify starter. I should:
Let me do this step by step.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak && rm -rf themes/Now I'll clone the official starter and set it up.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak && git clone https://github.com/keycloakify/keycloakify-starter.git themesGood, now let me install dependencies and build the theme.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && npm installThe npm install seems to have timed out. Let me check if it completed anyway and then build the theme.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && npm run build-keycloak-themeThe build completed successfully but it needs Apache Maven. Let me check if the dist_keycloak directory was created with the JAR file.
>ls -la /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/dist_keycloak/ 2>/dev/null || echo "dist_keycloak not found"It needs Apache Maven to package the JAR. Let me install it and try again.
>brew install maven 2>/dev/null || which mvn || echo "Maven not available, using Docker instead"The maven install is taking too long. Let me try running the build again to see if it can continue where it left off, or if maven is now available.
>which mvnMaven is still not available. The installation was interrupted. Let me update the README to mention that Maven is needed and provide instructions, and update the build script to check for maven first. Let me also check if we can skip the maven part for now by checking what files were created.
>ls -la /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/The dist directory was created but not dist_keycloak (which contains the JAR file). Maven is required to create the JAR. Let me update the documentation to mention this requirement and provide alternative approaches.
>rm /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/build-themes.shThe README was modified by the git clone. Let me read it first and then update it.
Good, the README from the starter is already there and contains good instructions. Now let me update the root README and build script with the proper information.
Now I should update the root README with the correct information - that the official starter is now being used, and mention the Maven requirement.
Now let me also update the theme name in the Dockerfile - the starter creates a JAR with a different name.
>grep -r "keycloakify" /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/package.json | head -5Good, the theme name is "keycloakify-starter". Let me also update the theme name reference in the root README.
Now let me also update the project structure in the README to remove references to build-themes.sh since we removed it, and update the theme structure description.
Good! Now let me also remove the build-themes.sh reference in the Docker build section.
Great! Now let me verify the current state of the files and give a summary.
Done! I've replaced the themes directory with the official Keycloakify starter.
What was set up:
themes/npm installImportant: You need Apache Maven installed to build the theme JAR:
brew install maven # macOSThen build the theme:
cd themesnpm run build-keycloak-themeNext steps:
docker build -t keycloak .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
The user has added a Maven wrapper. I should check if it works by running the build command to see if it can successfully build the Keycloak theme using the Maven wrapper instead of requiring a system-wide Maven installation.
>ls -la /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/ | grep -E "mvnw|maven"Let me look for the Maven wrapper files more specifically. They might be named differently or I need to check the whole directory.
Great, the Maven wrapper is at the root of the project. Now let me check if there's a pom.xml file in the themes directory and try to build the theme using the Maven wrapper.
>ls -la /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/ | head -20The Maven wrapper is at the root level but not in the themes directory. Keycloakify needs Maven to build the JAR file. Let me check if there's a pom.xml in the themes directory, and if not, the build might need to use the Maven wrapper from the root or the wrapper needs to be in the themes directory.
Actually, looking at the structure, the themes directory is a separate project (the keycloakify starter). The Maven wrapper you added is at the root of your keycloak repository, but the themes directory is a git clone of the starter which doesn't have the wrapper.
Let me check if there's a .mvn directory and see what the Keycloakify build process expects.
So there are pom.xml files at the root and in providers, but the themes directory (which is a git clone of the keycloakify-starter) likely doesn't have a Maven wrapper. Let me check if the keycloakify build command can be configured to use the Maven wrapper from the parent directory, or if we need to link/copy it.
>ls -la /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/.mvn/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No .mvn directory found"Good, the Maven wrapper is there. Let me try running the Keycloakify build command from the themes directory and see if it picks up the Maven wrapper from the parent directory or if we need to configure it.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && ../mvnw --versionThe Maven wrapper works. Now I need to check if Keycloakify can use this Maven wrapper. Let me look at the package.json to see how the build is configured and if there's a way to specify the Maven path.
Let me check if Keycloakify has an option to specify the Maven path. I should also look at the Keycloakify documentation or check if there's a keycloakify property in package.json.
I don't see a specific mavenPath option in the Keycloakify documentation. Let me try running the build command to see what happens, and if it fails because it can't find Maven, I'll check if we can work around it by either:
Let me first try the build and see what error we get.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1 | tail -30So the build gets to the point where it needs Maven, but it can't find it because it's looking for mvn in the PATH. The Maven wrapper is at the parent directory but Keycloakify doesn't know about it.
I need to either:
Let me copy the Maven wrapper files to the themes directory.
>cp /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/mvnw /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/mvnw && cp /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/mvnw.cmd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/mvnw.cmd && cp -r /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/.mvn /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes/.mvnGood, I've copied the Maven wrapper files to the themes directory. Now let me test if the build works.
>npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1I need to run this from the themes directory.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && ./mvnw --versionGood, the Maven wrapper works. Now let me run the build command from the themes directory.
>npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1 | tail -40I keep forgetting to cd into the themes directory first. Let me do that.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1 | tail -50The build still fails because Keycloakify can't find Maven. Even though I copied the Maven wrapper to the themes directory, it seems Keycloakify is specifically looking for mvn in the PATH, not the Maven wrapper.
Let me check if there's a way to make the Maven wrapper available as mvn by creating a symlink or modifying the PATH.
Actually, I should check what command Keycloakify is using to invoke Maven.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && PATH="$PATH:$PWD" npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1 | tail -20Still not working. Let me create a symlink or wrapper script that makes mvn point to the Maven wrapper.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && ln -sf ./mvnw mvn && chmod +x mvn && PATH="$PWD:$PATH" npm run build-keycloak-theme 2>&1 | tail -30Hmm, it's still not finding Maven. Let me check the node_modules to see how Keycloakify is detecting Maven. It might be checking for the mvn command in a specific way.
Let me try a different approach - I'll create a wrapper script that simulates the mvn command and see if that works.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && cat > mvn << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
exec ./mvnw "$@"
EOF
chmod +x mvn && PATH="$PWD:$PATH" which mvn && PATH="$PWD:$PATH" mvn --versionThe command timed out, probably because the Maven wrapper is downloading Maven. Let me wait for it to complete and check if it works.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && ls -la dist_keycloak/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No dist_keycloak yet"Let me check if there's already a Maven installation available or if the wrapper finished downloading.
>ls -la /Users/josh/.m2/wrapper/dists/apache-maven-3.9.12/Maven is already downloaded. Let me try running the build again with the mvn wrapper script.
>cd /Users/josh/terydin/keycloak/themes && cat mvnGood, the wrapper script looks correct. Now let me try to build again with the PATH set correctly.
