 ======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.

 ====DHCP testing====
 ''%%sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover%%'' will test the DHCP servers on the same network.

   *''kea-dhcp4 -c /app/dhcpv4.conf'' to start kea dhcp4 using configuration file ''/app/dhcpv4.conf''
+++++Use of symlink, TL;DR;|
+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.

+  *''kea-dhcp4 -c /app/dhcpv4_plus.conf'' to start kea dhcp4 using configuration file ''/app/dhcpv4_plus.conf''.  This configuration file is designed to work with the kea control agent setup.  Where as the basic configuration ''/app/dhcpv4_basic.conf'' is not.

+I have stored log files in the .config directory that is a Docker mounted volume for persistence and easy external viewing outside container.  The following logs files can be seen.

+  * ''.config/log/kea-dhcp4-dhcpsrv.log''
+  * ''.config/log/kea-dhcp4-leases.log''
+  * ''.config/log/kea-dhcp4.log''
+  * ''.config/log/kea-dhcp4-ha-hooks.log''
+====Kea Miscellaneous====
+  *''docker attach kptr-kea-1'' to attach to running container
+  *''kea-dhcp4 -v'' To check running version
