Symptoms

  • DPC shows iam-provider container unhealthy
  • The following errors are seen in the /var/log/messages.log:
2025-01-13T17:04:13.622608-03:00 vLPDPCAPP01 dockerd[7317]: time="2025-01-13T17:04:13.622544893-03:00" level=warning msg="Health check for container 90792bfbed67f777eb7b0df4414febc8c519d5e81db0b0fd8e381d69d8944c64 error: OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: \"curl\": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown"

Cause

Health check for the iam-provider container failed due to curl package being absent inside the container. In Keycloak 21, the maintainers removed the package from the docker image to downsize it due to which the curl command for the health check fails. 

This does not have any impact on the container startup or the functionality. The health status of the container is shown as unhealthy. 

Resolution

There is no resolution for this error message.
This error can be ignored, as it does not effect the functionality of DPC other than docker shows the iam-provider container as unhealthy.
