Custom builds

Build multi arch image for Keycloak 9:

Clone repo: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-containers/

Checkout tag: 9.0.0

Change dir to: keycloak-containers/server

Create new builder: docker buildx create --name mybuilder

Switch to builder: docker buildx use mybuilder

Inspect builder and make sure it supports linux/amd64, linux/arm64: docker buildx inspect --bootstrap

Build and push container: docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t repo/keycloak:9.0.0 --push .
