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.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
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.
