Getting started with keycloak-operator on Openshift

Getting started with keycloak-operator on Kubernetes

Operator installation

Note: You will need a running Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster to use the Operator

1. Run make cluster/prepare # This will apply the necessary Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and RBAC rules to the clusters
2. Run kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml # This will start the operator in the current namespace

Once the CRDs and RBAC rules are applied and the operator is running. Use the examples from the operator.

1. Run kubectl apply -f deploy/examples/keycloak/keycloak.yaml

Note: You will need a running Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster to use the Operator

1. clone this repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/keycloak/keycloak-operator
2. run make setup/mod cluster/prepare
3. run make code/run -- The above step will launch the operator on the local machine -- To see how do debug the operator or how to deploy to a cluster, see below alternatives to step 3
4. In a new terminal run make cluster/create/examples
5. Optional: configure Ingress and DNS Resolver
   • minikube:
     -- run minikube addons enable ingress
     -- run ./hack/modify_etc_hosts.sh
   • Docker for Mac:
     -- run kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-0.32.0/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml (see also https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/)
     -- run ./hack/modify_etc_hosts.sh keycloak.local 127.0.0.1
6. Run make test/e2e

To clean the cluster (Removes CRDs, CRs, RBAC and namespace)

1. run make cluster/clean

Debug the operator in Goland

1. go get -u github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv
2. Create new Go Build debug configuration
3. Change the properties to the following

* Name = Keycloak Operator
* Run Kind = File
* Files = <project full path>/cmd/manager/main.go
* Working Directory = <project full path>
* Environment = KUBERNETES_CONFIG=<kube config path>;WATCH_NAMESPACE=keycloak

3. Apply and click Debug Keycloak operator

Debug the operator in VS Code

1. go get -u github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv
2. Create new launch configuration, changing your kube config location

{
  "name": "Keycloak Operator",
  "type": "go",
  "request": "launch",
  "mode": "auto",
  "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/manager/main.go",
  "env": {
    "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "keycloak",
    "KUBERNETES_CONFIG": "<kube config path>"
  },
  "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "args": []
}

3. Debug Keycloak Operator

Deploy the operator into the running cluster

1. build image with operator-sdk build <image registry>/<organisation>/keycloak-operator:<tag>. e.g. operator-sdk build quay.io/keycloak/keycloak-operator:test
2. Change the image property in deploy/operator.yaml to the above full image path
3. run kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml -n <NAMESPACE>

Debug the e2e operator tests in Goland

1. Set Test kind to Package
2. Set Working directory to <your project directory>
3. Set Go tool arguments to -i -parallel=1
4. Set Program arguments to -root=<your project directory> -kubeconfig=<your home directory>/.kube/config -globalMan deploy/empty-init.yaml -namespacedMan deploy/empty-init.yaml -test.v -singleNamespace -localOperator -test.timeout 0
5. Apply and click Debug Keycloak operator

It's possible to deploy CRDs, roles, role bindings, etc. separately from running the tests:

1. Run make cluster/prepare as a cluster admin.
2. Run make test/ibm-validation as a user. The user needs the following permissions to run te tests:

apiGroups: ["", "apps", "keycloak.org"]
resources: ["persistentvolumeclaims", "deployments", "statefulsets", "keycloaks", "keycloakrealms", "keycloakusers", "keycloakclients", "keycloakbackups"]
verbs: ["*"]

Please bear in mind this is intended to be used for internal purposes as there's no guarantee it'll work without any issues.

NOTE: This functionality works only in OpenShift environment.

All images used by the Operator might be controlled using dedicated Environmental Variables:
