 ======Docker - DHCP Server======
-I propose to create a Docker ISC Kea Image using base Docker Alpine Linux images, with S6 init system. <fs x-small>(ISC Kea is a modern replacement for their DHCP.)</fs>
+Since mid 2023 I have been running a Docker ISC Kea Image using base Docker Alpine Linux images, with S6 init system. <fs x-small>(ISC Kea is a modern replacement for their DHCP.)</fs>  The main DHCP server runs on my main server and I have an automatic fall over back up on my separate Linux router.  I basically followed the Kea template [[https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arm/config-templates.html#template-home-network-of-a-power-user|Home Network of a Power User]].  I was never quite sure I had the automatic fall over back-up working. On 2023-01-02 I modified a configuration file on the primary server with a syntax error. Today, 8 days later I notice millions of lines of errors on my log files.  Sure enough the backup had simply been working.  I fixed up the simple syntax error and the primary server took back over.  Everything basically worked as expected.
 ISC also has a project for a simple GUI interface primarily for Kea and basic for Bind9.  There is apparently no Alpine package yet for Stork.

+Using symlinks in is confusing when using Docker mounted directories.
 To control which dhcp4 config file to run (basic or plus):
   *''ln -s .config/dhcp_basic.conf .config/dhcp.conf'' to run basic
   *''ln -s .config/dhcp_plus.conf .config/dhcp.conf'' to run plus
     *The ''-f'' flag can be used to overwrite an existing link file instead of deleting first.
-The plus configuration allows a secondary backup dhcp server to be operated.
