Good afternoon, Today we had a meeting to discuss how to handle Keycloak extensions inside the Operator. And let me try to summarize what we discussed. At the moment we bundle all the desired extensions inside a Docker image[1]. That works, but it comes at a price, because we need to maintain the builds for these extensions, or at least make sure they work. During our meeting today we concluded that the desired state would be to fetch the Jar files from the GitHub releases page. For example: https://github.com/Doccrazy/keycloak-protocol-cas/releases. And also let people provide the URL for their custom extension. To accomplish this, all the extensions contributions must distribute a Jar file. Otherwise, they won't be able to use their extension with the Keycloak Operator. Does it make sense? [1] - https://github.com/integr8ly/sso_plugins_init -- abstractj

Yes, that's correct. I will file a Jira with the proper description about this, if you think it makes sense I can also add to the Operator design proposal.
