I installed the latest version of Keycloak on a Linux EC2 instance. After starting Keycloak, I accessed it via the following URL: https://“mydomain”:8443/ The Keycloak interface appeared with this message: ‘Local access required You will need local access to create the temporary administrative u…

use the following variables: KEYCLOAK_ADMIN KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD I have used the same in docker compose for keycloak 25 and it works perfectly fine.

Variables are set and working: $ echo $KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME echo $KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD **username** **password** Command I am running to launch keycloak: sudo /etc/keycloak-26.0.6/bin/kc.sh start --hostname=[keycloak.mydomain.com](http://keycloak.mydomain.com/) --https-certificate-f…
