Kea DHCP with the Stork web dashboard for subnets, address pools, host reservations and lease usage, ready on first boot.
Kea is a modern, high throughput open source DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 server maintained by ISC, with a clean JSON configuration, a full management API and pluggable back ends. Stork is its companion web dashboard: it monitors one or more Kea servers, surfaces their daemons, subnets, shared networks, address pools, host reservations and pool utilisation, and gives operators an at a glance view of DHCP health from a single screen. Together they turn Kea into an approachable, observable DHCP service rather than a config file you edit blind.
cloudimg ships Kea, Stork and their PostgreSQL back end fully patched and preconfigured on one VM, ready on first boot. A unique Stork admin password, a per instance database password and a Kea control API credential are generated on first boot so no default login ships, the Kea control channel is bound to loopback, and the local Kea server is already registered and authorised in the dashboard with a sample subnet to explore. It comes with a paired deployment guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
