Answer 1

A bit late, but an answer might be helpful for others facing the same problem, so here goes.

As the error indicates a deployment is defined in the configuration, but the content is missing (in this case a MySQL JDBC driver).

To fix such an error you have to install the missing deployment or remove it from the configuration (in this case standalone.xml).

If you read the error description, it explains both the problem and possible solutions pretty well.

To correct the problem, either restart with the --admin-only switch set and use the CLI to install the missing conten remove it from the configuration, or remove the deployment from the xml configuraiton file and restart..

Answer 2

Just if anyone gets this in 2021 using docker image jboss/keycloak:12.0.4

I got this exact same error in 2 scenarios, my advice is to look and find the root issue for the actual error before this one is printed in the logs. (see 2 scenarios below)

Error:

keycloak_1 | 19:44:21,828 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] > (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([("subsystem" => "microprofile-metrics-smallrye")]): java.lang.NullPointerException keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.wildfly.extension.microprofile.metrics.MicroProfileMetricsSubsystemAdd$2.execute(MicroProfileMetricsSubsystemAdd.java:89) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractOperationContext.executeStep(AbstractOperationContext.java:1005) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractOperationContext.processStages(AbstractOperationContext.java:744) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractOperationContext.executeOperation(AbstractOperationContext.java:468) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.OperationContextImpl.executeOperation(OperationContextImpl.java:1415) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.ModelControllerImpl.boot(ModelControllerImpl.java:529) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractControllerService.boot(AbstractControllerService.java:515) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractControllerService.boot(AbstractControllerService.java:477) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.server.ServerService.boot(ServerService.java:451) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.server.ServerService.boot(ServerService.java:404) keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractControllerService$1.run(AbstractControllerService.java:416) keycloak_1 | at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829)

Scenarios:

1. Database errors:

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server. at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.SQLError.createCommunicationsException(SQLError.java:174) at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.SQLExceptionsMapping.translateException(SQLExceptionsMapping.java:64) at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.createNewIO(ConnectionImpl.java:836) at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.(ConnectionImpl.java:456) at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.getInstance(ConnectionImpl.java:246) at [email protected]//com.mysql.cj.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:198) at [email protected]//org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.local.LocalManagedConnectionFactory.createLocalManagedConnection(LocalManagedConnectionFactory.java:321) ... 67 more Caused by: com.mysql.cj.exceptions.CJCommunicationsException: Communications link failure

FIX: Mysql connector was not installed on the server it was starting up on.

2. KeyCloak deployment errors:

keycloak_1 | 19:44:21,611 FATAL [org.keycloak.services] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 65) Error during startup: java.lang.NullPointerException keycloak_1 | at [email protected]//org.keycloak.models.jpa.RealmAdapter.getRoleNameById(RealmAdapter.java:715)

FIX: Fixed by updating to docker hub image jboss/keycloak:13.0.0
