Exporting the Current Configuration¶

Hint - initial service start required

Before you export the configuration, you must start the installed Keycloak version in its service context at least once. This start initializes the runtime environment under /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak.

Exporting from Version 15.0.0¶

The following instructions use /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export as an example.

Stop the service:
```
sudo systemctl stop seal-keycloak
```

Export the current configuration to the /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export directory:

sudo -u seal /opt/seal/seal-keycloak/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=10000 -Djboss.server.base.dir=/opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak -Dkeycloak.migration.action=export -Dkeycloak.migration.provider=dir -Dkeycloak.migration.dir=/opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export

List the exported files:
```
ls -l /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export
```
The result includes the following files:
Example - file list
- master-realm.json
- master-users-0.json
- ... (potentially further numbered files, like master-users-1.json)
- SEAL-realm.json
- SEAL-users-0.json
- ... (potentially further numbered files, like SEAL-users-1.json)
Cancel Keycloak:
```
Ctrl-C
```
Restart the service:
```
sudo systemctl start seal-keycloak
```

Exporting from Version 21.0.0¶

The following instructions use /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export as an example.

Stop the service:
```
sudo systemctl stop seal-keycloak
```

Export the current configuration to the /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export directory:

sudo -u seal /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak/bin/kc.sh --config-file=/opt/seal/etc/keycloak.conf export --dir=/opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export

List the exported files:
```
ls -l /opt/seal/data/seal-keycloak-export
```
The result includes the following files:
Example - file list
- master-realm.json
- master-users-0.json
- ... (potentially further numbered files, like master-users-1.json)
- SEAL-realm.json
- SEAL-users-0.json
- ... (potentially further numbered files, like SEAL-users-1.json)
Restart the service:
```
sudo systemctl start seal-keycloak
```
