KEA DHCP Server on Armbian with Orange Pi Zero 3 (2GB RAM)

[fedes_gl]

Just installed Armbian  25.5.1 Desktop in my new board: Orange Pi Zero 3 with 2GB RAM, using a 32GB MicroSD card.

Installed desktop as I have HDMI output and wanted to check that everything was going fine, and it did.

I can connect to Armbian via SSH

I could set up Pi-hole correctly. (that's why I get the board for)

As My modem/router cannot manually set the DNS to the IP of the orange pi, I just disabled it ans installed ISC-DHCP server and got it running.

I used chatgpt for that purpose. I have some understaning using linux distros and networking, chatgpt just saved my some time with configuration.

 

After some days I saw o nInternet that ISC was deprecated and the modern version is KEA-DCHP Server

 

I tried to install It, just the IPv4 version as it is just for my home-use.

 

But I couldnt get it working

 

I'm stuck on this error:

 

Unable to use interprocess sync lockfile (Permission denied): /var/run/kea/logger_lockfile

 

Tried changing permissions, running manually the service, etc, I couldn't start the DHCP server so I'm coming back to ISC-DHCP server.

 

I liked to web interface of KEA too, to monitor connected devices.

But could get it working. 

 

Have anyone tested this server on Armbian?

I am using dnsmasq for that purpose
