You can set this permanently by creating the file standalone/configuration/profile.properties (or domain/servers/server-one/configuration/profile.properties for server-one in domain mode). Add the following to the file:

profile=preview

To enable a specific feature start the server with:

For example to enable Docker use -Dkeycloak.profile.feature.docker=enabled.

You can set this permanently in the profile.properties file by adding:
