[stork-users] sotrk not picking up Kea (but IS picking up bind9)

Hello all,

I just rebuilt a machine fresh with Debian 13 (was Debian 12 before…). I have installed the official cloudsmith packages for Trixie.  I have kea (dhcp4) 3.0.1, stork and stork-agent 2.2.1 installed.

Previously - I was using kea-ctrl-agent as well - but as I’ve been working on this machine today it seems this is now deprecated and that functionality is now natively in kea (great !).

However after registering my machine with the stork server (same machine in this case…) - it is only picking up bind9 as an app.  Seems like now without the seperate kea-ctrl-agent I am missing a piece to let know stork know about the local kea instance.

Here is what is listening relevant to this:

root at ice:/tmp# netstat -plantoW | egrep 'kea|stork' | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 192.168.64.1:8000       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1258/kea-dhcp4       off (0.00/0/0)
tcp6       0      0 :::8081                 :::*                    LISTEN      19468/stork-agent    off (0.00/0/0)
tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      19175/stork-server   off (0.00/0/0)
tcp6       0      0 :::9119                 :::*                    LISTEN      19468/stork-agent    off (0.00/0/0)
tcp6       0      0 :::9547                 :::*                    LISTEN      19468/stork-agent    off (0.00/0/0)

And not to complain - great job on these projects and I do appreciate all the work - but I had a terrible time even getting this far.  Postgres gave me fits (permissions, passwords, etc), and the stork docs seem a bit confusing (i.e. sometimes the user is stork-server, sometimes just stork ?  Also it’s not clear what my local user should be running stork-tool (if this even matters)).

I did manage to get stork itself running, machine registered, and bind9 detected with stats.  Just need to know the missing piece to get kea visible.

Thanks.
