Before version 17.0.0 there used to be a service folder to install Keycloak as a service on Windows. Does Keycloak. X has something similar to run it as a service on Windows?
You can run this as a service with nssm if using quarkus
Thanks for pointing to nssm.
I am using https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html I believe the versions before Keycloak 17 used such a daemon setup to install windows service.
The old version of Keycloak called the following command to initiate shutdown which got called in the Windows service stop routine.
jboss-cli.bat --controller=%CONTROLLER% --connect %CREDENTIALS% --command=/host=!DC_HOST!:shutdown
Would you know if Keycloak.X have such a shutdown hook to stop the process gracefully? I know starting Keycloak.X is simple as kc.bat start, is there a similar command to stop it though something like kc.bat stop?
For now, I have to kill the java.exe process manually to stop the service.
