This guide is a part of the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/getting-started/self-hosting) and explains how to integrate
|
|
**self-hosted** NetBird with [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/).
|
|
|
|
Keycloak is an open source software product to allow single sign-on with Identity and Access Management aimed at modern applications and services.
|
|
|
|
:::tip managed idp
|
|
If you prefer not to self-host an Identity and Access Management solution, then you could use a managed alternative like
|
|
[Auth0](/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/using-netbird-with-auth0).
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
The following guide is an adapted version of the original
|
|
[Keycloak on Docker](https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-docker) guide from the official website.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Deploy Keycloak (Optional)
|
|
|
|
If you have a running instance of Keycloak, you can skip this step; run the Keycloak container on your server otherwise:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:latest start-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
We recommend setting the `KEYCLOAK_ADMIN` to something different than `admin` and choosing a secure password.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Create a realm
|
|
|
|
To create a realm you need to:
|
|
|
|
- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
|
|
- Hover the mouse over the dropdown in the top-left corner where it says `Master`, then click on `Create Realm`
|
|
- Fill in the form with the following values:
|
|
- Realm name: `netbird`
|
|
- Click `Create`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Create a user
|
|
|
|
In this step we will create a NetBird administrator user.
|
|
|
|
- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
|
|
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
|
|
- Click `Users` (left-hand menu)
|
|
- Click `Create new user`
|
|
- Fill in the form with the following values:
|
|
- Username: `netbird`
|
|
- First Name: `Your first name`
|
|
- Last Name: `Your last name`
|
|
- Click `Create`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The user will need an initial password set to be able to log in. To do this:
|
|
- Click `Credentials` tab
|
|
- Click `Set password` button
|
|
- Fill in the password form with a password
|
|
- Set the `Temporary` field to `Off` to prevent having to update password on first login
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Create NetBird application client
|
|
|
|
In this step we will create and configure NetBird application client and register with the Keycloak instance.
|
|
|
|
- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
|
|
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
|
|
- Click `Clients`
|
|
- Click `Create client` button
|
|
- Fill in the form with the following values:
|
|
- Client Type: `OpenID Connect`
|
|
- Client ID: `netbird-client`
|
|
- Name: `NetBird Application Client`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Click Next
|
|
- Tick the boxes as on the screenshot below and click Save
