auth:
token:
realm: http://localhost:8080/realms/master/protocol/docker-v2/auth
service: docker-test
issuer: http://localhost:8080/realms/master| Docker authentication is disabled by default. To enable see the Enabling and disabling features guide. |
This section describes how you can configure a Docker registry to use Keycloak as its authentication server.
For more information on how to set up and configure a Docker registry, see the Docker Registry Configuration Guide.
For users with more advanced Docker registry configurations, it is generally recommended to provide your own registry configuration file. The Keycloak Docker provider supports this mechanism via the Registry Config File Format Option. Choosing this option will generate output similar to the following:
auth:
token:
realm: http://localhost:8080/realms/master/protocol/docker-v2/auth
service: docker-test
issuer: http://localhost:8080/realms/masterThis output can then be copied into any existing registry config file. See the registry config file specification for more information on how the file should be set up, or start with a basic example.
Don’t forget to configure the rootcertbundle field with the location of the Keycloak realm’s public key. The auth configuration will not work without this argument.

Often times it is appropriate to use a simple environment variable override for develop or POC Docker registries. While this approach is usually not recommended for production use, it can be helpful when one requires quick-and-dirty way to stand up a registry. Simply use the Variable Override Format Option from the client details, and an output should appear like the one below:
REGISTRY_AUTH_TOKEN_REALM: http://localhost:8080/realms/master/protocol/docker-v2/auth
REGISTRY_AUTH_TOKEN_SERVICE: docker-test
REGISTRY_AUTH_TOKEN_ISSUER: http://localhost:8080/realms/master
Don’t forget to configure the REGISTRY_AUTH_TOKEN_ROOTCERTBUNDLE override with the location of the Keycloak realm’s public key. The auth configuration will not work without this argument.

| This installation method is meant to be an easy way to get a docker registry authenticating against a Keycloak server. It is intended for development purposes only and should never be used in a production or production-like environment. |
The zip file installation mechanism provides a quickstart for developers who want to understand how the Keycloak server can interact with the Docker registry. In order to configure:
From the desired realm, create a client configuration. At this point you will not have a Docker registry - the quickstart will take care of that part.
Choose the Docker Compose YAML option from the from Action menu and select the Download adapter config option to download the ZIP file.
Unzip the archive to the desired location, and open the directory.
Start the Docker registry with docker-compose up
| it is recommended that you configure the Docker registry client in a realm other than 'master', since the HTTP Basic auth flow will not present forms. |
Once the above configuration has taken place, and the keycloak server and Docker registry are running, docker authentication should be successful:
[user ~]# docker login localhost:5000 -u $username Password: ******* Login Succeeded
