Kea is an open-source, high-performance DHCP server from ISC (Internet Systems Consortium). It supports DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and Dynamic DNS updates.
This snap packages the following Kea daemons:
Configuration
Configuration files are stored in: /var/snap/dhcp-kea/common/etc/kea/
After installation, edit the configuration files to match your network: sudo vi /var/snap/dhcp-kea/common/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf
Then restart the desired service: sudo snap restart dhcp-kea.dhcp4
Lease databases are stored in: /var/snap/dhcp-kea/common/var/lib/kea/
Logs are written to stdout and can be viewed with: sudo snap logs dhcp-kea.dhcp4
Services
All four daemons are packaged as snap services. By default only dhcp4 is enabled. Enable others as needed: sudo snap start --enable dhcp-kea.dhcp6 sudo snap start --enable dhcp-kea.ctrl-agent sudo snap start --enable dhcp-kea.ddns
Administration
The kea-admin and kea-shell utilities are available as: sudo dhcp-kea.admin ... sudo dhcp-kea.shell ...

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install dhcp-kea, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install dhcp-kea
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
