[keycloak-user] how to handle upgrade for Keycloak docker deployment

[Graham Burgess]

I rolled from 4.4 to 4.5 without thinking about any steps. I am running the container using the Helm chart for Kubernetes with some addons for the database but nothing that seems to need anything special for upgrades.

Subject: [keycloak-user] how to handle upgrade for Keycloak docker deployment

Hello,

What are the steps to upgrade a Keycloak Docker deployment? The steps in [upgrade-guide] are valid for normal deployments.

Docker upgrades can simply be done by changing the version number.

I know some steps are necesary. I also know that databse migration can be handled by Keycloak automatically.

What about the other steps?

TLDR:

We are using keycloak to secure some of our services. We have deployed it via Docker, following the instructions on [keycloak-docker].

However, there is something that bugs me: How to to upgrades.

I've read the [upgrade-guide] and the steps are:

- stoping the server

- run some script

- start the server (to do databasse migrations).

Our setup is simple, we have a single keycloak instance with PostgtreSQL and no changes other than a custom theme.
