Create an instance, pick Marketplace App at the template step, and choose it from the list. You pay for the instance.
What Keycloak gives you
Keycloak is an identity and access management server: it holds your users, or federates them from an existing directory, and issues tokens to your applications over OpenID Connect and SAML. Login screens, multi-factor enrolment, password policies and social logins all come out of the box.
Self-hosting identity keeps the user store and the audit trail in your own region — often the deciding factor when the applications behind it handle regulated data.
Key features
- Single sign-on. One login across web apps, APIs and internal tools via OIDC or SAML.
- User federation. LDAP and Active Directory as the source of truth, without migration.
- Multi-factor. OTP and WebAuthn enrolment enforced by policy per realm.
- Fine-grained authorisation. Roles, groups and policies evaluated centrally, not per application.
- Realms. Separate tenants — staff, customers, per-client — in one deployment.

Getting started
Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.
-
01
Log in to the Cloud Portal
Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.
-
02
At Select Template, open Marketplace App
In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.
-
03
Pick the template and deploy
Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.
-
04
Finish the application setup
Open the admin console, create the administrator, then define a realm, add a client for your application and issue the first tokens.
Before it carries real traffic
- Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
- Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
- Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
- Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.
