Creating A Keycloak Theme

Creating a Keycloak Theme#

  1. Mount a local theme to the container (assuming keycloak already running)

    Create directory for the theme#

    mkdir my-theme

    docker container list docker commit docker run -d -p 5000:8080 –mount type=bind,source=,target=

  2. Disable Cache

    The original values are:

    <staticMaxAge>2592000</staticMaxAge>
<cacheThemes>true</cacheThemes>
<cacheTemplates>true</cacheTemplates>

    Set it to:

    <staticMaxAge>-1</staticMaxAge>
<cacheThemes>false</cacheThemes>
<cacheTemplates>false</cacheTemplates>

    Copy the file to the host:

    docker cp <container>:opt/jboss/keycloak/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml .

    Send back with:

    docker cp standalone.xml <container>:/opt/jboss/keycloak/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

  3. Make the login theme

    cd <my-theme>
mkdir login
cd login
vi theme.properties

    Add the following:

    parent=base
import=common/keycloak

    Then go to login. Then change parent=keycloak and it should change.

    For me I had to restart the keycloak service.

  4. Add CSS

    add the file themes/mytheme/login/resources/css/styles.css

    .login-pf body {
    background: DimGrey none;
}

    then edit theme.properties:

    styles=css/styles.css

    This removes overrides all the styles of the parent. So you can add them again with: node_modules/patternfly/dist/css/patternfly.css node_modules/patternfly/dist/css/patternfly-additions.css lib/zocial/zocial.css css/login.css css/styles.css

  5. Add Images

    Add to themes/mytheme/login/resources/img

    You can then use the image with:

    body {
    background-image: url('../img/image.jpg');
    background-size: cover;
}

    or:

    <img src="${url.resourcesPath}/img/image.jpg">
