[keycloak-dev] How to setup a maven project generating jar containing authentication providers in a debug mode in eclipse

[Rashmi Singh]

Thanks Thomas for your reply. I have a few questions on your response. I am
still very new to docker, so please bear with me.
when you say I can set env variables in docker container, would this be
sufficient?

First connect to the docker container as:

docker exec -i -t keycloak bash
Then, once I am in the container, I run the following to set env variables?

set DEBUG_MODE=true
set DEBUG_PORT=8787
exit
Then, restart the container as:
docker restart keycloak    (keycloak is the name of my container)
Also, how can I make sure that the env variable got correctly set in the
docker container? From inside the container, if I run the command "env",
should it list these new env variables if they are added successfully?

Then, when you say "......default on port 8787 which you need to expose on
your docker container or use the container interface...", what exactly do
you mean? Do you mean some sort of port forwarding? Could you tell me w
tohat exactly I need to do with my existing container named as "keycloak"

Then, on eclipse, where you mentioned the settings for the Debug
configurations, what should be the hostname there? would it be localhost?
or the default machine IP of docker which is 192.168.99.100? Or it should
be something else?
