Basic configuration - Hydra crash

Hello everyone :grinning: I’m trying to setup hydra for a simple Identity Provider application.
I read the documentation and I’m not sure to understand everything
I have setup hydra with docker compose:

 version: '3'

services:  
  oauth2:
    image: oryd/hydra:v0.9.10-http
    ports:
      - "4444:4444"
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=memory
      - ISSUER=https://localhost:4444/
      - CONSENT_URL=http://localhost:8080/consent
      - SYSTEM_SECRET=jf89-jgklAS9gk3rkAF90dfsk
      - FORCE_ROOT_CLIENT_CREDENTIALS=admin:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Once the container is set up, as explained in the “Secure Consent App”, I use the command line client to create a client and a policy:

 {
    "id": "consent_app",
    "client_secret": "some_super_secret_key",
    "client_name": "consent",
    "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8080/callback"],
    "grant_types": [
        "client_credentials"
    ],
    "response_types": [
        "token"
    ],
    "scope": "hydra.keys.get"
}

And for the policy:

 {
    "actions": [
        "get"
    ] ,
    "conditions": {},
    "description": "Allow consent app to access hydra's keys" ,
    "effect": "allow" ,
    "id": "consent_keys" ,
    "resources": [
        "rn:hydra:keys:hydra.consent.challenge:public",
        "rn:hydra:keys:hydra.consent.response:private"
    ] ,
    "subjects": [
        "consent_app"
    ]
}

Then I trigger a request to create a challenge: http://localhost:4444/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=consent_app&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback&scope=read&state=1234567890
I’m called back on my server to try to solve the challenge
I need to retrieve the key to check the signature of the token
As explained in the documentation, I should find this information here: http://localhost:4444/keys/hydra.openid.id-token/public

But Impossible to retrieve something as Hydra is crashing:

Is this crash normal ? What do I miss to access the key ? Do I need to provide the challenge of the token to access the public key ?

to retrieve the openid token you need a different policy set up, in particular this one: https://github.com/ory/hydra/blob/master/docs/access-control/policies/everyone-can-read-public-keys.json

I started a PR which explains a basic set up: https://github.com/ory/hydra/pull/544
