Is there a way to setup Keycloak as auth provider for Discourse? I need this to work in SSO manner, so that my users that have created account managed by Keycloak automatically have access and are logged in into Discourse instance too.  
I have read about OpenID configuration and people say that users have to login separately and create a separate account in Discourse with this setup. It’s not exactly what I am after.

Anything I could/should read about the topic?  
My intention is to have Discourse and Keycloak to be setup in separate composed docker containers and I would need a seamless auth between them so that I could create posts in Discourse using my API backend on behalf of the user that is logged in in my JS frontened app, with user data managed by Keycloak.
