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 ...
