Hi all,
I’m running OpenEMS Backend 2026.7.0 via Docker/Portainer and I’m planning to set up authentication via Keycloak (combined with Odoo) instead of the current Metadata.Dummy.
I noticed the release notes for 2026.2.0 included this warning:
“This release includes large changes to the OpenEMS Backend authentication flow to Odoo and KeyCloak. These changes are not yet included in the OpenEMS-Odoo-Addon and the Docker-Compose setups. For now it is recommended to use older OpenEMS Backend (namely 2026.1.0) to prevent problems and cyber security risks.”
This note doesn’t appear in later release notes (2026.3.0–2026.6.0), so I’m unsure whether:
- The Docker-Compose support for Odoo+Keycloak has since been fixed/stabilized, or
- The warning is simply not being repeated even though it’s still relevant.
My use case: I’m planning to roll out OpenEMS across multiple buildings for a municipality (city-wide deployment), so I need a properly secured, production-ready multi-user auth setup rather than API-key-only (Metadata.File).
Could someone confirm the current status of Odoo+Keycloak support for Docker-based Backend deployments in 2026.7.0? Is it safe to use in production now, or should I still wait / use an alternative approach for this scale of deployment?
Thanks in advance!
