Keycloak Documentation
======================
Open Source Identity and Access Management for modern Applications and Services.
For more information about Keycloak visit the [Keycloak homepage](http://keycloak.org) and [Keycloak blog](https://www.keycloak.org/blog).
Contributing to Keycloak Documentation
----------------------------------------
See our [Contributor's Guide](internal_resources/contributing.adoc). The directory also includes a set of templates and other resources to help you get started.
If you want to file a bug report or tell us about any other issue with this documentation, you are invited to please use our [issue tracker](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/).
Building Keycloak Documentation
---------------------------------
Ensure that you have [Maven installed](https://maven.apache.org/).
First, clone the Keycloak repository:
git clone https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak.git
cd keycloak/docs/documentation
If you are using Windows, you need to run the following command with administrator privilege because this project uses symbolic links:
git clone -c core.symlinks=true https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak.git
To build Keycloak Documentation run:
./mvnw clean install -am -pl docs/documentation/dist -Pdocumentation
Or to build a specific guide run:
./mvnw clean install -pl docs/documentation/GUIDE_DIR -Pdocumentation
By default, an archive version of the documentation is built. To build the latest build run:
./mvnw clean install ... -Platest,documentation
You can then view the documentation by opening `docs/documentation/GUIDE_DIR/target/generated-docs/index.html`.
To build the REST API documentation and the Javadoc:
- Export the `JAVA_HOME` variable, for example:
```
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk
```
(without this, you may get the following error: `Unable to find javadoc command: The environment variable JAVA_HOME is not correctly set.`)
- Run:
```
./mvnw clean package -am -pl services -Pjboss-release -DskipTests
```
You can view the generated docs by opening the following files:
- REST API: `services/target/apidocs-rest/output/index.html`
- Javadoc: `services/target/apidocs/index.html`
