In this article, we’ll address a common issue encountered when setting up Keycloak using Docker. Specifically, we’ll discuss the error message “HTTPS required” and provide a step-by-step solution to resolve it

Problem:

When running the Docker command `docker run -p 8080:8080 -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:23.0.6 start-dev`, users often encounter an error stating that HTTPS is required.

Solution:

Fortunately, there is a straightforward solution to this problem. Follow these steps to resolve the HTTPS requirement issue:

Step 1: Start the Docker Container

Begin by starting the Docker container. Use the following command to launch the Keycloak container:

```plaintext
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:23.0.6 start-dev
```

Step 2: Log into the Docker Container

Once the container is running, open a new terminal window or tab. Use the following command to access the running container:

```plaintext
docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash
```

Replace `<container_id>` with the ID of the Keycloak container. You can find the container ID by running `docker ps`.

Step 3: Access the Keycloak Bin Directory

Navigate to the bin directory within the Keycloak container:

```plaintext
cd /opt/keycloak/bin/
```

Step 4: Configure Keycloak Credentials

Now, configure the Keycloak credentials using the `kcadm.sh` script. Replace `localhost:8080` with the appropriate Keycloak server address and port if necessary.

```plaintext
./kcadm.sh config credentials --server localhost:8080 --realm master --user admin
```

Step 5: Update Realm Settings

Update the realm settings to disable SSL requirement. This command sets the `sslRequired` parameter to `NONE`.

```plaintext
./kcadm.sh update realms/master -s sslRequired=NONE --server localhost:8080
```

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you can successfully resolve the “HTTPS required” error encountered when setting up Keycloak within a Docker container. This solution allows you to configure Keycloak to accept connections without HTTPS, enabling smooth integration with your development environment. Remember to adjust server addresses and ports as needed for your specific setup.
