Hi, I would like to enable production mode on my Keycloak Chart ( bitnami, latest) but can’t find a way how to do it.  
The Docs say I should

> set `KEYCLOAK_PRODUCTION` to **true** and configure TLS

I have configured TLS already, but I don’t know where I should specify the ‘KEYCLOAK\_PRODUCTION’ variable.  
Anyone here who can help me? Thanks in advance  
Pascal

Hey @PascalF I have same problem, I used bitnami helm chart and I deployed kc 18.0.2, but I can set “production mode” or “environment prod”  
Did you fix it yet ?

Hey, I fixed it - but not in the prettiest way.  
First, you have to add a variable to the extraEnvVars like this:

```auto
extraEnvVars:
  - name: KEYCLOAK_PRODUCTION
    value: true

```

and it should work theoretically - BUT in my case it only worked if your helm chart version is v9.3.3 or lower.  
Once you try to use a higher version it will throw a JDBC Connection error (and I haven’t found out how to fix it yet)

Hope this will help you 😃
