Surprisingly similar to [My keycloak integration with spring worked perfectly when keycloak is in docker-compose and project running locally ! but got error 401 when both worked on dokcer compose](https://forum.keycloak.org/t/my-keycloak-integration-with-spring-worked-perfectly-when-keycloak-is-in-docker-compose-and-project-running-locally-but-got-error-401-when-both-worked-on-dokcer-compose/24884) are you using some kind of shared source which contains the same incorrect information?

You have to use the new environment variables to configure the database connection. Next, keycloak doesn’t use the auth subpath any more.

However, you might encounter connection issues if your browser gets involved. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.keycloak.org/t/keycloak-does-not-work-with-spring-boot-in-docker-compose/24910)._
