how to pass -Dkeycloak.profile.feature.upload_scripts=enabled flag While installing bitnami/keycloak helm charts

Question

Given below is my command to install bitnami keycloak on my kube.netes cluster

helm install kc --set auth.adminPassword=admin,auth.adminUser=admin,service.httpPort=8180 bitnami/keycloak -n my-namespace

I want to import realms(contains users,groups,clients and roles) into my keycloak but before i do that i need to enable upload scripts flag, most of you might already know that we can do that in using standalone.sh as given below on standalone keycloak installation

bin/standalone.bat -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=10 -Dkeycloak.profile.featur
e.upload_scripts=enabled

can someone help me how can I do this using helm install command by passing flags just as I am doing for auth.adminPassword=admin,auth.adminUser=admin,service.httpPort=8180

thanks in advance

Answer 1

In your Keycloak yaml file you need to add the field extraEnvVars and set the KEYCLOAK_EXTRA_ARGS environment variable as shown in the example below:

keycloak:
  enabled: true
  auth:
    adminUser: admin
    adminPassword: secret
  extraEnvVars:
    - name: KEYCLOAK_EXTRA_ARGS
      value: -Dkeycloak.profile.feature.upload_scripts=enabled    
  extraVolumeMounts:
   ...

Bear in mind, however, that the feature upload_scripts will be remove from Keycloak in the future.

From Keycloak Documentation :

Ability to upload scripts through the admin console is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Keycloak

Answer 2

As dreamcrash said, the upload_scripts feature is deprecated. As to what is the replacement, the Keycloak documentation says:

Administrators should always deploy scripts directly to the server using a JAR file to prevent attacks when you run scripts at runtime.

Meaning that you should upload your scripts as a JAR file into a specific folder ( /opt/jboss/keycloak/standalone/deployments/ in case of a docker container?), and avoid putting them into the real import file. More info in the Keycloak documentation .
