This is another artifact from an upcoming series of articles that I’m writing for creating a home/laptop development laboratory ecosystem. I’m sharing these artifacts now because the series that I’m writing won’t be released for at least a month (It’s a huge undertaking -for me). These flow charts demonstrate the simplest form (IMHO) of creating Keycloak client services behind an authentication/authorization proxy (Keycloak Gatekeeper). I imagine that if you are reading this article you are already frustrated with just creating a simple client in Keycloak and/or trying to figure out how to restrict authorization so that only specific users of a group are allowed to log in via Keycloak.

A high level network overview of Traefik, Keycloak, and Gatekeeper working together This is yet another artifact [although ugly] from a project I’m working on. This diagram depicts a basic lab infrastructure with Traefik, Keyclaok, and Keycloak Gatekeeper working together behind a local DNS (dnsmasq). Details for how all of this actually fits together are forthcomming. For now, hopefully, it will be helpful for those who are wondering what the layout looks like when configuring these various components to work together.
