Keycloak OIDC Authentication

OpenID Connect authentication using Keycloak with custom claims support.

Quick Start

To run examples you need the following domain name resolving config:

keycloak -> 127.0.0.1
uptimer-dev -> 127.0.0.1

# 1. Add to /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 keycloak uptimer-dev" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

# 2. Start services
git clone https://github.com/myuptime-info/uptimer-docs.git
cd uptimer-docs/examples/dev-keycloak
docker-compose up -d

# 3. Access services
# Keycloak: http://localhost:8080 (admin/admin)
# Uptimer: http://localhost:2517 (test/test)

http://keycloak:8080 - localhost Keycloak address, credentials admin/admin
http://uptimer-dev - Uptimer local address, credentials test/test
