[BUG] Dashy 3.1.1 baremetal with keycloak doesn't work

[juantxorena]

Environment

Self-Hosted (Bare Metal)

System

debian 12

Version

3.1.1

Describe the problem

This is different than most of the other bugs, since the other ones usually relate to docker.

As the title says, dashy 3.1.1 doesn't work with the latest keycloak version (25.0.1). It redirects to the login page, and after login, I get the black screen of death (with "It looks like something's gone wrong..." etc). When disabling keycloak auth it works as expected. This happened after upgrading dashy from a very old version (2.x).

My setup: dashy behind nginx in a LXC container (in proxmox). Keycloak in another LXC container in the same machine.

Unfortunately the browser console doesn't say anything:

The strange thing is that I actually get a token, so I assume that the keycloak config is ok:

Hello, same issue here. After downgrading Keycloak to v24 everything is working as expected.

[veniplex]

Same issue for me. I use:

• Dashy v3.1.1
• Keycloak v25.0.1

Both hosted as Docker containers on a Synology NAS behind the built-in (Synology) Reverse Proxy and publicly available via HTTPS.

I get the same result. Auth seems to work on Keycloak side, because a session is created and the Keycloak logs show nothing. But Dashy shows this:

Since I'm not using docker, I cannot really roll back keycloak to a previous version (I could, but it's too much work). Is there any way I can help testing and fixing this bug?

@juantxorena I assume that Keycloak v25.0.0 introduced some breaking changes, so that the implementation in Dashy needs some adjustments. For reference: https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/release_notes/index.html

Dashy is currently using "keycloak-js": "^20.0.3". The current version is Keycloak JS v25.0.1. According to the release notes of Keycloak v25.0.0 there were some (maybe breaking) changes regarding the Keycloak JS adapter:

Legacy Promise API removed
With this release, we have removed the legacy Promise API methods from the Keycloak JS adapter. This means that calling .success() and .error() on promises returned from the adapter is no longer possible.

Required to be instantiated with the new operator
In a previous release we started to actively log deprecation warnings when the Keycloak JS adapter is constructed without the new operator. Starting this release doing so will throw an exception instead. This is to align with the expected behavior of JavaScript classes, which will allow further refactoring of the adapter in the future.

A quick look at the old v24.0.5 and latest v25.0.1 docs did not reveal any major changes for the overall implementation so far.

Maybe it is worth noting this in the installation instructions / troubleshooting section / readme file... until it is updated.

@juantxorena Did you try to use the OIDC method in the meantime? Maybe this works with Keycloak... I haven't tried it and I can't at the moment, because I removed Dashy for now.
