Description

Improving our developer and extension story

Open up to modularise the Keycloak code base into a suite of extensions
Make it easier to build custom extensions, including enabling community maintained extensions available in a “marketplace”

What is an extension?

One or more providers
A custom theme
Custom theme resources
Configuration Server-level configuration CLI options / environment variables Realm-level configuration Component model
Third-party dependencies
Enabling/requiring additional Quarkus extensions
A GitHub repository, with GitHub Actions for testing, and GitHub releases for release artifacts to make it easy to install
Compatibility Matrix (works with Keycloak Version X, X+1)

What can be improved

New SPIs or improved APIs for existing SPIs to make it easier to develop extensions for specific use-cases
Testing
Packaging, including third-party dependencies
Consistent and simplified installation of extensions
Marketplace/visibility of extensions

What could a marketplace do?

Not really a marketplace as it’s for free and open source extensions ;)
Easy way to discover extensions, and provide consistent approach to testing, verifying with KC releases, showing what versions of an extension is compatible with a given KC release, how to install it, etc.
Theme preview PoC (Stian) - PoC to demonstrate a easy way to preview custom themes
