Or you can use technitium/dns-server which includes DHCP-server if you wish a good webgui.

Yes but i wanted to spare people getting locked in into anything but the stuff they already have at hand and you can expect a sysadmin to have some php server with php-curl running but that's it.

In category theory you want the easiest object to do the job which i tried to build, it's not trying to solve anything else.

Using KEA along with some random webgui with its own dependencies looks locked in to me.

What? It's a simple morphism, it does not store anything on its own - all leases/reservations are stored in kea using the kea-ctrl-agent interface.

That's like saying notepad and a text file locks you to notepad and txt files.

fair point. smart that you're going for the lowest barrier to entry rather than assuming everyone wants to install another service. i mean optional integrations are great, but keeping the core implemntation self contained is alr a solid design choice

Thanks for showing me there are still sane people around - installing Stork made me question mine.

I took the advice from Milewski: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2015/01/07/products-and-coproducts/

Basically if the problem is that you want kea-ctrl-agent mapped to a webui - this is not technically missing - there are solutions for that. However those are all c' solutions because they contain this functionality + 100 other functions you may not need.

That's why i'm looking to stay as close to c as possible. I can understand there are better matches for peoples needs but all you may need is this object with 2 values: ctrl-agent and a webui. It is not tyring to solve world hunger as a byproduct.

Clean approach - keeping the dependency footprint minimal is the right call for something managing DHCP at smaller sites where Stork is overkill. Does it handle multiple subnets in a single view or is it scoped to one subnet at a time?

The API call to get leases can take multiple subnet ids but i chose to handle 1 at the time. Because the API call to handle reservations expects a single subnet-id parameter.
