<title>Running Keycloak Server on OpenShift</title>
<para>
Keycloak provides a OpenShift cartridge to make it easy to get it running on OpenShift. If you don't already
have
an account or don't know how to create applications go to
<ulink url="https://www.openshift.com/"/>
first. You can
create the Keycloak instance either with the web tool or the command line tool, both approaches are described
below.

It's important that immediately after creating a Keycloak instance you open the <literal>Administration Console</literal>
and login to reset the password. If this is not done anyone can easily gain admin rights to your Keycloak instance.
