Keycloak on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Deploy single sign-on (SSO) with OpenID Connect (OIDC) and SAML support in minutes. This image boots Keycloak 26 with a unique, per-VM generated admin password — no well-known credentials — on a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

Version: Keycloak 26Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 8080 (Keycloak)Category: Security & Identity
Pay-as-you-go pricing: $0.09 per vCPU per hour software fee, plus Azure infrastructure (billed by Microsoft). Example: a 4-vCPU VM runs about $263/month in software fees at 730 hours — stop the VM, stop paying.

What's included

  • Keycloak 26 with OIDC, OAuth2, and SAML 2.0 support
  • Unique per-VM admin password generated at first boot
  • Realm, client, and user federation (LDAP/AD) support built in
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with automatic security updates
  • Trusted Launch: Secure Boot + vTPM supported
  • Ready to front with Azure Application Gateway for TLS

Quick start

  1. Open http://<VM-IP>:8080/ in your browser.
  2. Sign in to the admin console as `admin` with the generated password (see command below), then change it immediately.
  3. Create your first realm, add clients for your applications, and put Keycloak behind HTTPS before production use.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /opt/keycloak/admin-password

Every image ships without any shared or default password — a unique admin credential is generated for your VM on first boot. Change it after first sign-in.

Common use cases

  • Single sign-on across internal applications
  • Customer identity (CIAM) for SaaS products
  • Federating Entra ID / LDAP into legacy apps
  • Centralized MFA and session policies
