Kea Control Agent is deprecated

[freym]

Hi

Since Kea 3.0 the Kea Control Agent is deprecated. We use Kea version 3.0, and netbox-kea also works when communicating directly with the respective servers. There is only one drawback: the servers listen on different ports, and if I want to integrate both IPv4 and IPv6, I have to add the server twice, with different ports. It would be nice if you could define different ports for the services per server.

There's a couple of changes that I'd like to make for v3.0 (see #152 for another).

I'll try to work on it soon.

I finally got KEA 3.0.2 all up and running inside of Docker and using Postgres hooks. It seems that with all of the hooks released that the plugin could offer some more features.

I think it would be awesome to have a host reservations tab, so I'm offering that suggestion :)

I just wanted to say thanks again and it might be time for me to start trying my own plugin but I thought I'd inquire here first as I've been using this one for a few years now.

Cheers!

Hi,

I've added some of this in my fork - but it was mainly because I needed it - and I wasn't considering contributing as I don't have enough time on my hands right now to get it into acceptable size-wise PRs (plus not everyone likes to get AI-generated code - fair warning). I wasn't really concerned about backwards compatibility with CA as I don't use it - so that's another.
But maybe you can pull something out of it that would be useful - or what's possible with new hooks.

Cheers!

Sorry for the delay, I've actually started working on this issue this week. Release should hopefully come within a week.
