The packages are available on +`Cloudsmith <https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos/>`_ at +https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos. The native packages can be downloaded +and installed using the system available in a specific distribution (such +as dpkg or rpm). The Kea repository can also be added to the system, +making it easier to install updates. For details, please +go to https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos, choose the repository of +interest, and then click the ``Set Me Up`` button for detailed +instructions. + +.. _install-hierarchy: + +Installation Hierarchy +====================== + +The following is the directory layout of the complete Kea installation. +(All directory paths are relative to the installation directory.) + +- ``etc/kea/`` — configuration files. + +- ``include/`` — C++ development header files. + +- ``lib/`` — libraries. + +- ``lib/kea/hooks`` — additional hooks libraries. + +- ``sbin/`` — server software and commands used by the system administrator. + +- ``share/doc/kea/`` — this guide, other supplementary documentation, and examples. + +- ``share/kea/`` — API command examples and database schema scripts. + +- ``share/man/`` — manual pages (online documentation). + +- ``var/lib/kea/`` — server identification and lease database files. + +- ``var/log/`` - log files. + +- ``var/run/kea`` - PID file and logger lock file. + +.. _build-requirements: + +Build Requirements +================== + +In addition to the runtime requirements (listed in +:ref:`required-software`), building Kea from source code requires +various development include headers and program development tools. + +.. note:: + + Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into a + runtime and a development package. The + development package versions, which include header files and + libraries, must be installed to build Kea from the source code. + +Building from source code requires the following software installed on +the system: + +- Boost C++ libraries (https://www.boost.org/). The oldest Boost version + used for testing is 1.57 (although Kea may also work with older + versions). The Boost system library must also be installed. + Installing a header-only version of Boost is not recommended. + +- OpenSSL (at least version 1.0.2) or Botan (at least version 2). + OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or later is strongly recommended. + +- log4cplus (at least version 1.0.3) development include headers. + +- A C++ compiler (with C++11 support) and standard development headers. + The Kea build has been checked with GCC g++ 4.8.5 and some later versions, + and Clang 800.0.38 and some later versions. + +- The development tools automake, libtool, and pkg-config. + +- The MySQL client and the client development libraries, when using the + ``--with-mysql`` configuration flag to build the Kea MySQL database + backend. In this case, an instance of the MySQL server running locally + or on a machine reachable over a network is required. Note that running + the unit tests requires a local MySQL server. + +- The PostgreSQL client and the client development libraries, when using the + ``--with-pgsql`` configuration flag to build the Kea PostgreSQL database + backend. In this case an instance of the PostgreSQL server running locally + or on a machine reachable over a network is required. Note that running + the unit tests requires a local PostgreSQL server. + +- The FreeRADIUS client library is required to connect to a RADIUS server. + This is specified using the ``--with-freeradius`` configuration switch. + +- Sysrepo v1.4.140 and libyang v1.0.240 are needed to connect to a Sysrepo + datastore. Earlier versions are no longer supported. When compiling from + sources, the configure switches that can be used are ``--with-libyang`` and + ``--with-sysrepo`` without any parameters. If these dependencies were + installed in custom paths, point the switches to them. + +- The MIT Kerberos 5 or Heimdal libraries are needed by Kea DDNS server to sign + and verify DNS updates using GSS-TSIG. The configuration switch which enables + this functionality is ``--with-gssapi`` without any parameters. If these + dependencies were installed in custom paths, point the switch to them. + +- googletest (version 1.8 or later) is required when using the ``--with-gtest`` + configuration option to build the unit tests. + +- The documentation generation tools `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/>`_, + texlive with its extensions, and Doxygen, if using the ``--enable-generate-docs`` + configuration option to create the documentation. Specifically, + with Fedora, python3-sphinx, texlive, and texlive-collection-latexextra are necessary; + with Ubuntu, python3-sphinx, python3-sphinx-rtd-theme, and texlive-binaries + are needed. If LaTeX packages are missing, Kea skips PDF generation and produces + only HTML documents. + +Visit ISC's Knowledgebase at https://kb.isc.org/docs/installing-kea for +system-specific installation tips. + +.. _install: + +Installation From Source +======================== + +Although Kea may be available in pre-compiled, ready-to-use packages +from operating system vendors, it is open source software written in +C++. As such, it is freely available in source code form from ISC as a +downloadable tar file. The source code can also be obtained from the Kea +GitLab repository at https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea. This +section describes how to build Kea from the source code. + +Download Tar File +----------------- + +The Kea release tarballs may be downloaded from: +https://downloads.isc.org/isc/kea/. + +Retrieve From Git +----------------- + +The latest development code is available on GitLab (see +https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea). The Kea source is public and +development is done in the “master” branch. + +Downloading this "bleeding edge" code is recommended only for developers +or advanced users. Using development code in a production environment is +not recommended. + +.. note:: + + When building from source code retrieved via git, additional software + is required: automake (v1.11 or later), libtoolize, and autoconf + (v2.69 or later). These may need to be installed. + +The code can be checked out from +``https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea.git``: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ git clone https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea.git + +The code checked out from the git repository does not include the +generated configure script or the Makefile.in files, nor their related build +files. They can be created by running ``autoreconf`` with the +``--install`` switch. This will run ``autoconf``, ``aclocal``, +``libtoolize``, ``autoheader``, ``automake``, and related commands. + +Write access to the Kea repository is only granted to ISC staff. +Developers planning to contribute to Kea should check our +`Contributor's +Guide <https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/blob/master/contributors-guide.md>`__. +The `Kea Developer's +Guide <https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/>`__ contains more +information about the process, and describes the requirements for +contributed code to be accepted by ISC. + +.. _configure: + +Configure Before the Build +-------------------------- + +Kea uses the GNU Build System to discover build environment details. To +generate the makefiles using the defaults, simply run: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure + +Run ``./configure`` with the ``--help`` switch to view the different +options. Some commonly used options are: + + - ``--prefix`` + Define the installation location (the default is ``/usr/local``). + + - ``--with-mysql`` + Build Kea with code to allow it to store leases and host reservations + in a MySQL database. + + - ``--with-pgsql`` + Build Kea with code to allow it to store leases and host reservations + in a PostgreSQL database. + + - ``--with-log4cplus`` + Define the path to find the Log4cplus headers and libraries. Normally + this is not necessary. + + - ``--with-boost-include`` + Define the path to find the Boost headers. Normally this is not + necessary. + + - ``--with-botan-config`` + Specify the path to the botan-config script to build with Botan for + cryptographic functions. It is preferable to use OpenSSL (see below). + + - ``--with-openssl`` + Use the OpenSSL cryptographic library instead of Botan. By default + ``configure`` searches for a valid Botan installation; if one is not + found, Kea searches for OpenSSL. Normally this is not necessary. + + - ``--enable-shell`` + Build the optional ``kea-shell`` tool (more in :ref:`kea-shell`). + The default is to not build it. + + - ``--with-site-packages`` + Only useful when ``kea-shell`` is enabled, this switch causes the kea-shell + Python packages to be installed in the specified directory. This is + mostly useful for Debian-related distributions. While most systems store + Python packages in ``${prefix}/usr/lib/pythonX/site-packages``, Debian + introduced a separate directory for packages installed from DEB. Such + Python packages are expected to be installed in + ``/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages``. + + - ``--enable-perfdhcp`` + Build the optional ``perfdhcp`` DHCP benchmarking tool. The default + is to not build it. + + - ``--with-freeradius`` + Build the optional ``RADIUS`` hook. This option specifies the path to the + patched version of the FreeRADIUS client. This feature is available in + the subscriber-only version of Kea, and requires the subscription-only RADIUS hook. + + - ``--with-freeradius-dictionary`` + Specify a non-standard location for a FreeRADIUS dictionary file, which + contains a list of supported RADIUS attributes. This feature is available in + the subscriber-only version of Kea, and requires the subscription-only RADIUS hook. + +If the RADIUS options are not available, ensure that the RADIUS hook sources are in +the ``premium`` directory and rerun ``autoreconf -i``. + +.. note:: + + For instructions concerning the installation and configuration of + database backends for Kea, see :ref:`dhcp-install-configure`. + +There are many options that are typically not necessary for +regular users. However, they may be useful for package maintainers, +developers, or people who want to extend Kea code or send patches: + + - ``--with-gtest``, ``--with-gtest-source`` + Enable the building of C++ unit tests using the Google Test + framework. This option specifies the path to the gtest source. (If + the framework is not installed on the system, it can be downloaded + from https://github.com/google/googletest.) + + - ``--enable-generate-docs`` + Enable the rebuilding of Kea documentation. ISC publishes Kea + documentation for each release; however, in some cases it may be + desirable to rebuild it: for example, to change something in the + docs, or to generate new ones from git sources that are not yet + released. + + - ``--enable-generate-parser`` + Enable the generation of parsers using flex or bison. Kea sources include + .cc and .h parser files, pre-generated for users' convenience. By + default Kea does not use flex or bison, to avoid + requiring installation of unnecessary dependencies for users. + However, if anything in the parsers is changed (such as adding a new + parameter), flex and bison are required to regenerate + parsers. This option permits that. + + - ``--enable-generate-messages`` + Enable the regeneration of messages files from their messages source + files, e.g. regenerate xxx_messages.h and xxx_messages.cc from + xxx_messages.mes using the Kea message compiler. By default Kea is + built using these .h and .cc files from the distribution. However, if + anything in a .mes file is changed (such as adding a new message), + the Kea message compiler needs to be built and used. This option + permits that. + +As an example, the following command configures Kea to find the Boost +headers in /usr/pkg/include, specifies that PostgreSQL support should be +enabled, and sets the installation location to /opt/kea: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure \ + --with-boost-include=/usr/pkg/include \ + --with-pgsql=/usr/local/bin/pg_config \ + --prefix=/opt/kea + +Users who have any problems with building Kea using the header-only Boost +code, or who would like to use the Boost system library (assumed for the +sake of this example to be located in /usr/pkg/lib), should issue these +commands: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure \ + --with-boost-libs=-lboost_system \ + --with-boost-lib-dir=/usr/pkg/lib + +If ``configure`` fails, it may be due to missing or old dependencies. + +When ``configure`` succeeds, it displays a report with the parameters used +to build the code. This report is saved into the file ``config.report`` +and is also embedded into the executable binaries, e.g., ``kea-dhcp4``. + +Build +----- + +After the configure step is complete, build the executables from the C++ +code and prepare the Python scripts by running the command: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ make + +Install +------- + +To install the Kea executables, support files, and documentation, issue +the command: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ make install + +Do not use any form of parallel or job server options (such as GNU +make's ``-j`` option) when performing this step; doing so may cause +errors. + +.. note:: + + The install step may require superuser privileges. + +If required, run ``ldconfig`` as root with ``/usr/local/lib`` (or with +prefix/lib if configured with ``--prefix``) in ``/etc/ld.so.conf`` (or the +relevant linker cache configuration file for the OS): + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ldconfig + +.. note:: + + If ``ldconfig`` is not run where required, users may see + errors like the following: + + :: + + program: error while loading shared libraries: libkea-something.so.1: + cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory + + +Cross-Building +-------------- + +It is possible to cross-build Kea, i.e. to create binaries in a separate +system (the ``build`` system) from the one where Kea runs +(the ``host`` system). + +It is outside of the scope of common administrator operations and requires +some developer skills, but the Developer Guide explains how to do that +using an x86_64 Linux system to build Kea for a Raspberry Pi box running +Raspbian: `Kea Cross-Compiling Example +<https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/de/d9a/crossCompile.html>`__. + +.. _dhcp-install-configure: + +DHCP Database Installation and Configuration +============================================ + +Kea stores its leases in a lease database. The software has been written +in a way that makes it possible to choose which database product should +be used to store the lease information. Kea supports three +database backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL and memfile. To limit external +dependencies, MySQL and PostgreSQL support are disabled by default and only +memfile is available. Support for the optional external database backend must +be explicitly included when Kea is built. +This section covers the building of Kea with one of the optional backends and +the creation of the lease database. + +.. note:: + + When unit tests are built with Kea (i.e. the ``--with-gtest`` configuration + option is specified), the databases must be manually pre-configured + for the unit tests to run. The details of this configuration can be + found in the `Kea Developer's + Guide <https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/>`__. + +Building with MySQL Support +--------------------------- + +Install MySQL according to the instructions for the system. The client +development libraries must be installed. + +Build and install Kea as described in :ref:`installation`, +with the following modification. To enable the MySQL database code, at the +"configure" step (see :ref:`configure`), the ``--with-mysql`` switch should be +specified: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure [other-options] --with-mysql + +If MySQL was not installed in the default location, the location of the +MySQL configuration program "mysql_config" should be included with the +switch: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure [other-options] --with-mysql=path-to-mysql_config + +See :ref:`mysql-database-create` for details regarding MySQL +database configuration. + +Building with PostgreSQL support +-------------------------------- + +Install PostgreSQL according to the instructions for the system. The +client development libraries must be installed. Client development +libraries are often packaged as "libpq". + +Build and install Kea as described in :ref:`installation`, +with the following modification. To enable the PostgreSQL database code, at the +"configure" step (see :ref:`configure`), the ``--with-pgsql`` switch should be +specified: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure [other-options] --with-pgsql + +If PostgreSQL was not installed in the default location, the location of +the PostgreSQL configuration program "pg_config" should be included with +the switch: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ./configure [other-options] --with-pgsql=path-to-pg_config + +See :ref:`pgsql-database-create` for details regarding PostgreSQL +database configuration. + + + +.. include:: hammer.rst + +.. _non-root: + +Running Kea From a Non-root Account on Linux +============================================ + +Both Kea DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers perform operations that in general require root access +privileges. In particular, DHCPv4 opens raw sockets and both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 open UDP sockets on +privileged ports. However, with some extra system configuration, it is possible to run Kea from +non-root accounts. + +First, a regular user account must be created: + +.. code-block:: console + + useradd admin + +Then, change the binaries' ownership and group to the new user. Note that +the specific path may be different. Please refer to the ``--prefix`` +parameter passed to the configure script: + +.. code-block:: console + + chown -R admin /opt/kea + chgrp -R admin /opt/kea + chown -R admin /var/log/kea-dhcp4.log + chgrp -R admin /var/log/kea-dhcp4.log + chown -R admin /var/log/kea-dhcp6.log + chgrp -R admin /var/log/kea-dhcp6.log + +If using systemd, modify its service file +(e.g. /etc/systemd/system/kea-dhcp6.service): + +.. code-block:: console + + User=admin + Group=admin + +The most important step is to set the capabilities of the binaries. Refer to `man capabilities` to get +more information. + +.. code-block:: console + + setcap 'cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw=+ep' /opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp4 + setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp6 + +If using systemd, also add this to the service file +(e.g. /etc/systemd/system/kea-dhcp6.service): + +.. code-block:: console + + ExecStartPre=setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp6 + +After this step is complete, the admin user should be able to run Kea. Note that the DHCPv4 server by +default opens raw sockets. If the network is only using relayed traffic, Kea can be instructed to +use regular UDP sockets (refer to ``dhcp-socket-type`` parameter in the +:ref:`dhcp4-interface-configuration` section) and the ``cap_net_raw`` capability can be skipped. + +.. note:: + + It is possible to avoid running Kea with root privileges by instructing Kea to + use non-privileged (greater than 1024) ports and redirecting traffic. This, however, only works + for relayed traffic. This approach in general is considered experimental and has not been tested + for deployment in production environments. Use with caution! + + To use this approach, configure the server to listen on other non-privileged ports (e.g. 1547 + and 1548) by running the process with the ``-p`` option in ``/etc/systemd/system/kea-dhcp4.service``: + +.. code-block:: console + + ExecStart=/opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp4 -d -c /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf -p 2067 + +and ``/etc/systemd/system/kea-dhcp4.service``: + +.. code-block:: console + + ExecStart=/opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp6 -d -c /etc/kea/kea-dhcp6.conf -p 1547 + +Then configure port redirection with iptables and ip6tables for new ports (e.g. 1547 +and 1548). Be sure to replace ``ens4`` with the specific interface name. + +.. code-block:: console + + iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens4 -p udp --dport 67 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2067 + iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens4 -p udp --dport 2068 -j REDIRECT --to-port 68 + ip6tables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens4 -p udp --dport 547 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1547 + ip6tables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens4 -p udp --dport 1548 -j REDIRECT --to-port 548 + +.. _deprecated: + +Deprecated Features +=================== + +This section lists significant features that have been or will be removed. We try to +deprecate features before removing them to signal +to current users to plan a migration. New users should not rely on deprecated features. + +Sysrepo 0.x +----------- + +Kea versions 1.9.9 and earlier required Sysrepo 0.7.x to run, when optional support for NETCONF was +enabled. Kea versions 1.9.10 and later now require Sysrepo 1.4.x and the related libyang 1.x library to +run. The earlier Sysrepo versions are no longer supported. The latest Sysrepo 2.x version does not +provide C++ bindings, and as such, is not usable for Kea. |
