Hi Stian,
Ok, thanks.
Say that you would only import a realm once. How then would you typically deal with
changes in the realm configuration in an automated deployment situation? We do not want
any manual steps in our deployment and so we want all Keycloak realm changes managed from
our Git repository. Does Keycloak support some kind of update/delta mechanism that we can
use to automated realm configuration changes?
cheers

We are planning on at some point to add an import directory. You can dump a realm json
file in there and Keycloak will only import it once. It would use the hash of the file and
add a marker to the db to make sure it's only done once, even if you delete the realm
in the db.
Not sure when or even if this will be added though.
Another option is that it would be relatively easy to extend the Docker image to import a
file only first time it's started.

Hi Edgar,
Well, the way I'm doing it now (which I don't like at all, hence the
original post), is to run the startup script in a separate container so
that the database (Postgres in my case) is populated, and to do that
once before the actual container is launched (so that the real container
picks up the required configuration from the database).
Importing the realm every time might be an alternative, as long is it
doesn't over-write any user info. I'll look into that.
But hoping that there are better suggestions for this out there!

Hi Tim,
We also struggle with this. What we do at the moment is we _always_ import the realm on
startup of our Keycloak Docker container. Our current idea is that we will not have any
runtime configuration changes in our realm at all, apart from filling the Keycloak caches.
The idea being that runtime configuration changes are not automatable. We store our users
and groups in LDAP/Active Directory and all realm configuration is stored in the realm
JSON file in Git and imported every time.
I was wondering: if you do change your realm configuration runtime how do you deal with
deployment automation? Is your idea to only import your realm definition once? If so, how
would you deal with automating realm configuration changes?
cheers
