[keycloak-user] Backup of config and users

[Knurr, Michael]

Well, I don’t know, using db tools is certainly more efficient. There are probably a number of ways to backup the keycloak data. However, looking at it from a „product perspective“ I think that keycloak needs to have a builtin method to backup and restore its own data.

When you are running keycloak in a production environment you need to have a recommended and supported way of creating and restoring your backups. Most certainly there are alredy a number of companies which already have these procedures in place.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to write them down and add them to a „backup and restore“ Chapter in the keycloak documentation? What do you think?

Wouldn't it be better and more efficient to use dB tools for backing up the dB?

Dear Sebastien

thanks for your response. This seems to be an easy solution.

Having an automatted process in mind, is there any way to know when I can stop the instance again "once the export is done"?

You can just run another instance on a different port (i.e : with
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=) with the export args , then you can safely stop this instance once the export is done.
