What this fixes

On every page of the admin console, every Keycloak deployment showed:

You are logged in as a temporary admin user. To harden security, create a permanent admin account and delete the temporary one.

The account Infisical lists was the one Keycloak had created from KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_*. Keycloak marks such accounts temporary for a reason: those two values stay in the container environment for as long as the container runs. In other words, the admin password everyone used was sitting in docker inspect.

Removing the mark would silence the banner without changing that, and it does not work anyway. Measured on 26.7.3: a user PUT without is_temporary_admin answers 204 and keeps the attribute.

What changes

The container only ever sees a throwaway account. Keycloak bootstraps nexus-bootstrap from a new random_password.keycloak_bootstrap_password. That value is not in Infisical, and it is not in the CREDENTIALS_JSON Pages secret. The permanent admin's password is no longer rendered into the .env.

A new services hook hands the realm over (render_keycloak_hook):

  1. Sign in as nexus-bootstrap.
  2. Install the permanent admin with the Infisical password. If the account already exists, reset its password instead of creating it. Grant it the master realm's admin role.
  3. Prove the new account works: sign in as it, then make an admin-only request with its token.
  4. Only then delete nexus-bootstrap.

Older deployments are migrated. Their permanent username was bootstrapped directly and is still flagged temporary. The hook replaces that account the way the banner describes: it installs nexus-bootstrap as it, deletes the old account, creates it again, and deletes nexus-bootstrap.

The recreated account has a new user id, so an OTP device or group membership set up on the old one does not carry over. docs/stacks/keycloak.md says so.

Interrupted runs finish on the next spin-up. Every in-between state is one the next run recognises. Any step that cannot prove the new account works stops before deleting the one that does, and its log line says which account still works.

What a deploy will do

  • The live server still has Keycloak data with the old, temporary nexus. The next spin-up with Keycloak enabled replaces that account, and the maintainer signs in again afterwards.
  • No initial-setup is needed. spin-up.yml runs tofu apply, which creates the new password.

Verified against a real Keycloak

Every case below ran against a real quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.7.3, in a throwaway container on the deployed server, with the final code:

Starting state Result Afterwards
fresh realm configured nexus permanent, admin role, bootstrap gone
second run already-configured unchanged
older deploy's temporary admin configured nexus permanent, admin role
second run on that already-configured unchanged
replacement interrupted after installing nexus-bootstrap configured nexus permanent
permanent admin with a stale password and no role configured password reset, role granted
wrong passwords failed nothing changed

These runs found two defects that unit tests would not have:

  • The password arrived with a trailing newline. jq -r ends its output with a newline, and in a form body that newline became part of the password. Keycloak refused correct credentials with invalid_grant. The token request now uses jq -j.
  • A success message would have been false. The first version cleared the temporary flag by PUT, then read the account back and reported "accepted the update but still flagged temporary". Without that read-back it would have reported success. This finding is what led to the replace-by-recreate design.

Unit tests

The rendered script runs under set -u against a fake curl. The fake plays a small Keycloak that keeps state and mirrors the measured behaviour, including both points above. A logging wrapper around the real jq records its arguments too.

The tests cover:

  • the seven cases above
  • a concurrent deploy (fix(ci): spin-up.yml has no concurrency group #801)
  • a role grant that answers 204 without effect
  • user lookups that fail (500)
  • no password and no token in any curl or jq argv, checked from all five starting states

Nine mutations were checked, each against the case that exercises it. Each one fails the tests:

Mutation Failing tests
jq -j → jq -r 7
admin-request check removed 1
older-deploy branch disabled 2
concurrent-deploy retry removed 1
bootstrap never deleted 4
token also passed in argv 1
password reset on 409 skipped 1
password passed as jq --arg 2
lookup status ignored 2

Two of these first went unnoticed:

  • Password passed as jq --arg. The argv check logged only curl, and it ran from one starting state whose path never reaches the reset branch. It now wraps jq as well and runs from all five starting states.
  • Password reset on 409 skipped. The first version of this mutation ignored the reset's result instead of removing the reset, so it did not test what its name says.

Further tests:

  • test_stack_conventions pins the compose side: the bootstrap username equals the hook's constant, its password comes from KEYCLOAK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD, and no KEYCLOAK_ADMIN value appears in the compose file.
  • The CREDENTIALS_JSON filter is taken from spin-up.yml and run with jq, so the test checks what the step does rather than what its text looks like.

Local CodeRabbit round

Reviewed e996f931: 2 findings, both handled in b29c3b8a.

tofu/stack/outputs.tf (major): the concern was right, the suggested fix was not.

The suggestion was to drop the bootstrap password from the secrets output. That output is the only path from OpenTofu to NexusConfig, and so to the renderer; without it, every Keycloak deploy would stop at the render guard.

The real issue was a different one. spin-up.yml stores that same output as CREDENTIALS_JSON, minus a list of keys. The password is kept out of Infisical on purpose, which is the same situation as forgejo_runner_secret, and its entry in that list says "without this line that exclusion would simply be undone here". The bootstrap password is now on the list. New tests cover both exclusions.

src/nexus_deploy/services.py (minor): fixed.

A failed user lookup looked exactly like "no such user". The hook would then have reported already-configured about accounts it had never read. kc_user now checks the HTTP status and returns non-zero on failure, and its callers stop with failed. After this change, all seven cases were run against the real Keycloak once more, because it changes how every lookup parses real curl output.

b29c3b8a itself was not reviewed locally; the rule is one round per branch.

Docs

docs/stacks/keycloak.md replaces "The bootstrap admin is created once" with "The admin account", the section the hook's failure message points to. It explains the hand-over, the migration of older deployments with its user-id caveat, and what to do if the hook reports failed.

The recovery path is only partly verified. It relies on the half-created case, which the rehearsal verified. The one step it adds, kc.sh bootstrap-admin user, was checked against the pinned image's --help only; it has not been run against this stack's database. The docs say so.

Relation to open PRs

#867 also changes src/nexus_deploy/service_env.py, but in different parts of the file: #867 changes EnvSpec, _SPECS and render_all_env_files, while this PR changes only _render_keycloak.

I merged #867 in a local simulation, once onto main and once onto main plus this branch. Both times the result was one conflict block per file, so this PR adds no conflict to it.

This PR's tests were added next to the existing Keycloak tests, not at the end of test_service_env.py, which is where #867's tests collide today.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent the permanent Keycloak administrator password from being exposed in the container environment, Infisical, or the Pages credentials bundle.
  • Handle Keycloak authentication and API edge cases, including trailing-newline passwords, ineffective role grants, failed lookups, stale passwords, and concurrent deployments.

Enhancements:

  • Add a dedicated generated bootstrap password and update Keycloak configuration to use the throwaway nexus-bootstrap account.

Build:

  • Add the Keycloak bootstrap password to OpenTofu-generated stack secrets and configuration handling.

Deployment:

  • Register the Keycloak services hook and update stack deployment flow to provision and use the separate bootstrap credential.

Documentation:

  • Document the permanent-admin handover, legacy-account migration, interrupted-run behavior, and recovery procedure.

Tests:

  • Add comprehensive unit and stack-convention coverage for fresh setup, migration, recovery, failure safety, concurrency, credential exposure, and workflow secret filtering.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Keycloak now uses a temporary bootstrap administrator to create and verify the permanent administrator during setup.
    • Setup recovers from interrupted or repeated runs and removes the temporary account after successful verification.
    • Separate bootstrap and permanent administrator credentials support safer setup and ongoing administration.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for Keycloak administrator setup, recovery, and password mismatches.
  • Security

    • Bootstrap credentials are excluded from persistent secret storage and deployment credential bundles.

Every Keycloak deployment showed "You are logged in as a temporary admin
user. To harden security, create a permanent admin account and delete the
temporary one." on every admin console page. The account Infisical lists
was the one Keycloak created from KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_*, and Keycloak marks
those temporary for a reason: the two values stay in the container
environment for as long as it runs.

Clearing the mark would silence the banner without changing that, and it
does not work anyway -- measured on 26.7.3, a user PUT without
`is_temporary_admin` answers 204 and keeps the attribute. So the stack now
does what the banner asks:

- The container bootstraps a throwaway account, `nexus-bootstrap`, from a
  new `random_password.keycloak_bootstrap_password`. That value is not in
  Infisical and the admin password is no longer rendered into the .env, so
  the permanent admin's password never reaches the container.
- A new services hook signs in as `nexus-bootstrap`, installs the permanent
  admin (create, or reset the password if it exists; grant the master
  realm's `admin` role), proves it by signing in and making an admin-only
  request, and only then deletes `nexus-bootstrap`.
- An older deployment's admin, still flagged temporary, is replaced the same
  way: install `nexus-bootstrap` as it, delete it, create it again, delete
  `nexus-bootstrap`. Its user id changes, so an OTP device or group
  membership on it does not carry over; the docs say so.

Every in-between state is one the next run recognises, and any step that
cannot prove the new account works stops before deleting the one that does.

Rehearsed against a real quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.7.3 on the server, in
a throwaway container, with the final code:

    fresh realm                     configured          nexus permanent, admin
    second run                      already-configured  unchanged
    older deploy's temporary admin  configured          nexus permanent, admin
    second run on that              already-configured  unchanged
    replacement interrupted         configured          nexus permanent, admin
    admin half-created, stale pw    configured          password reset, role granted
    wrong passwords                 failed              nothing changed

The rehearsal found two defects the unit tests would not have:

- `jq -r` ends its output with a newline. In a form body that newline
  became part of the password, and Keycloak refused correct credentials
  with invalid_grant. The token request uses `jq -j`.
- The first version cleared the temporary flag by PUT and, because it read
  the account back, reported "accepted the update but still flagged
  temporary" instead of a false success. That is what led to the
  replacement above.

Unit tests run the rendered script under `set -u` against a fake `curl`
that plays a small Keycloak with state, mirroring the measured behaviour
including both points above. They cover all seven cases plus a concurrent
deploy (#801) and a role grant that answers 204 without effect. Eight
mutations were checked, each against the case that exercises it:

    jq -j -> jq -r                    7 tests fail
    admin-request check removed       1
    older-deploy branch disabled      2
    concurrent-deploy retry removed   1
    bootstrap never deleted           4
    token also passed in argv         1
    password reset on 409 skipped     1
    password passed as jq --arg       2

The last one first went unnoticed twice over: the argv check logged only
curl, not jq, and it ran on one starting state whose path never reaches the
reset branch. It now wraps jq as well and runs from all five states.

A convention test pins the compose side: KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME equals
the hook's constant, the password comes from KEYCLOAK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD,
and no KEYCLOAK_ADMIN value appears in the compose file.

docs/stacks/keycloak.md replaces "The bootstrap admin is created once" with
"The admin account" -- the section the hook's failure message points to --
including a recovery path. That path rests on the verified half-created
case; the one step it adds, `kc.sh bootstrap-admin user`, was checked
against the image's --help but not run against this stack's database, and
the docs say so.
Reviewed e996f93 with one local CodeRabbit round: 2 findings, both acted
on, the first differently from its suggestion.

tofu/stack/outputs.tf (major) -- the concern is right, the fix is not.
The suggestion was to drop keycloak_bootstrap_password from the `secrets`
output, "preserving the container-only delivery path". There is no other
path: `tofu output -json secrets` is the only way a value reaches
NexusConfig, and so the renderer that writes the container's .env.
Removing it would leave KEYCLOAK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD empty and stop every
Keycloak deploy at the render guard.

What the finding points at is real, though. spin-up.yml stores that same
output as the CREDENTIALS_JSON Pages secret, minus a list of keys, and its
own comment gives the rule: a credential nothing reads from the bundle does
not belong in it. The bootstrap password is kept out of Infisical on
purpose -- exactly the case of forgejo_runner_secret, whose entry says
"without this line that exclusion would simply be undone here". It is now
on the list, with the same reasoning.

Two tests, since neither exclusion was pinned for this value:
- compute_folders never publishes it (mirrors the runner-secret test).
- The CREDENTIALS_JSON filter, taken from the workflow and run with jq,
  drops all four keys and keeps the rest. Mutation-checked: with the key
  removed from the workflow's del() the test fails.

src/nexus_deploy/services.py (minor) -- fixed. kc_user discarded the
lookup's status, so a failed request (500, 403, transport error, empty
body) produced the same empty output as "no such user". The hook then read
the permanent admin as not temporary and nexus-bootstrap as already gone,
and reported already-configured about accounts it had never seen.

kc_user now reads the status with `-w '\n%{http_code}'` and returns 1
unless it got a 200 with a JSON array; an absent user is still empty
output with status 0. All three callers stop with `failed` on 1. New test,
from two starting states, with every user lookup answering 500: `failed`,
never `already-configured`, nothing changed. Mutation-checked: ignoring the
status again fails both cases.

Because this rewrote how every lookup parses real curl output -- the kind
of detail the fake curl can model wrong, as the newline in the token body
showed -- all seven cases were rehearsed again against a real
quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.7.3, with this code:

    fresh realm                     configured
    second run                      already-configured
    older deploy's temporary admin  configured
    second run on that              already-configured
    replacement interrupted         configured
    admin half-created, stale pw    configured
    wrong passwords                 failed

each ending with `nexus` permanent and holding the admin role.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Keycloak now starts with a temporary nexus-bootstrap account. A registered setup hook creates and verifies the permanent administrator, then removes the temporary account. Separate credentials are generated, filtered, rendered, and tested.

Keycloak bootstrap flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential and container contract
tofu/stack/main.tf, tofu/stack/outputs.tf, src/nexus_deploy/config.py, src/nexus_deploy/service_env.py, stacks/keycloak/docker-compose.yml
The stack now generates separate permanent-admin and bootstrap passwords. Keycloak receives the temporary account credentials, database password, and domain.
Permanent admin setup
src/nexus_deploy/services.py
The registered hook waits for Keycloak readiness, authenticates with an available account, creates or repairs the permanent administrator, verifies access, handles concurrent or interrupted runs, and deletes nexus-bootstrap.
Secret publication and lifecycle documentation
src/nexus_deploy/infisical.py, .github/workflows/spin-up.yml, docs/stacks/keycloak.md
Infisical and Pages credentials exclude the bootstrap password. Documentation describes setup, recovery, verification, and cleanup behavior.
Contract and behavior validation
tests/fixtures/secrets_full.json, tests/unit/*
Tests cover credential rendering, secret filtering, compose conventions, workflow filtering, schema updates, and Keycloak setup states including failures and concurrency.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0d3fa

An existing permanent account with limited user-management permissions can be accepted as the administrator and cause the bootstrap account to be removed, leaving no account with the required full master-realm administration access. Resolve the role verification before merging.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR replaces Keycloak’s persistent temporary bootstrap admin with a throwaway nexus-bootstrap, then uses a verified, idempotent services hook to create or repair the permanent Infisical-backed admin before deleting the bootstrap account. It propagates a new non-Infisical bootstrap secret through OpenTofu and rendering, removes the permanent password from the container and Pages bundle, supports legacy and interrupted deployments, and adds extensive operational tests and documentation.

- Around line 2775-2778: Update the kc_token flow to probe a lightweight Admin
REST endpoint after kc_auth and before kc_user; when that authorization probe
fails, continue through the existing nexus-bootstrap fallback. Only call kc_user
after successful admin access, preserving its current diagnostic failure path
for transport, server, or JSON lookup errors, and do not combine kc_user into
the outer condition.

Comment thread src/nexus_deploy/services.py
Review comment 4025611873 on #871, confirmed and fixed.

The password grant issues a token to any enabled user, admin or not. The
hook treated "the permanent admin signs in" as "the permanent admin is
usable", then looked the account up with that token. For an admin without
the `admin` role that lookup is a 403, and the hook failed there -- without
trying `nexus-bootstrap`.

The hook produces exactly that state itself. kc_install creates the admin
with the right password, then the role grant fails, and it stops while
deliberately keeping `nexus-bootstrap`. From then on every run signed in as
the admin, got the 403, and failed, although `nexus-bootstrap` could finish
the grant. Reproduced with the fake Keycloak before the fix: two runs, both
`failed`, the admin never gaining the role.

Measured on a real quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.7.3: an account created
without the role gets a token (`eyJhbG…`) and a 403 from
/admin/realms/master/users.

kc_admin_token now returns a token only if an admin-only request with it
succeeds. Both the first sign-in and the concurrent-deploy retry use it, so
a signed-in admin without rights takes the bootstrap path, which reinstalls
it (409 -> password reset, role grant, proof) and then deletes
`nexus-bootstrap`. A kc_user failure after a successful probe still fails
the run, as the review asked.

Test: admin with the right password and no role, bootstrap present ->
`configured`, admin holds the role, bootstrap gone. The same state was
added to the argv check's starting states. Mutation-checked: without the
probe, the new test fails.

Rehearsed again against the real 26.7.3, since the probe changes the first
step of every run:

    fresh realm                      configured
    second run                       already-configured
    older deploy's temporary admin   configured
    second run on that               already-configured
    right password, no role          configured   (new; was failed forever)
    second run on that               already-configured
    stale password, no role          configured
    wrong passwords                  failed
