My new router is almost completely setup (shorewall, openvpn server, dns,
etc).  I have one problem, though.  I've added dhcpd to the default
runlevel, and it tries to start on a reboot, but it doesn't start
automatically.  If I sign in to the box and start the service manually, it
starts fine.

I think the problem has to do with ipv6 not being loaded BEFORE dhcpd tries
to start.  I've pasted the relevant part of /var/log/messages below.  I've
tried adding ipv6 to /etc/modules.  After the box finishes booting,
'/proc/net/if_inet6' exists, so I think that it may be just an order of
operations problem.

I also tried disabling ipv6 support in dhcpd by specifying "-4" in the
config.  However, I think the following bug may be causing this to fail:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12792

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I applied the patch found in the archlinux bug report.
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/?id=db5d9d6dcaa35ca33f48383464e0be66903f1bfa

So you can try install dhcp-4.1.0_p1-r2

Other option, if you want make sure that modules initscript is run
before dhcpd, you can add a forced depednency in /etc/conf.d/dhcpd:

rc_need="modules"

However, I'd believe that networking should come after modules anyway so
please let me know  if the above lines solves your problem. Then I'll
need to fix the init.d dependencies some place.

Thanks!

Okay, perhaps this is a dumb question.  I upgraded the package, but I can't
figure out how to make that upgrade persist through a reboot.  I must be
doing it wrong.  Here's what I'm doing:

My /etc/apk/repositories has this in it:
/media/sda1/apks
http://dev.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.9/packages/main

I ran these commands:
apk update
apk fix -u dhcp
lbu commit sda1
reboot

What'd I do wrong?  Sorry for all the questions.

Well, it did work (with the old dhcpd version) by adding the
rc_need="modules".  If I reboot and do an rc-status, it shows dhcpd as
"crashed", but in actuality, it is running.  At least it's automatically
starting with a reboot.  This line in the logs may be why it thinks that it
crashed:

local7.err dhcpd: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid: Permission
denied.

Here's what I did:

echo "rc_need=\"modules\"" >> /etc/conf.d/dhcpd
rc-update add modules
lbu commit sda1
reboot

Thank you very much!

It seems that your patch worked.  I removed modules from the default run
level and removed rc_needs="modules", commited, and rebooted, and using the
updated dhcpd that you created, it stayed running.

rc-status still shows it as crashed, and I think it's from this line in the
logs:
local7.err dhcpd: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid: Permission
denied

Persisting after a reboot seems to have worked after adding the link and
using apk add rather than fix.  See this output from just after doing your
commands, committing, and a reboot:

thomerson-rt01:~# ls -alh /etc/apk/cache/ | grep dhcp
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         8.1K Aug 10 08:50

dhcpcd-doc-5.0.6-r0.apk

thomerson-rt01:~# dhcpd --version
isc-dhcpd-4.1.0p1

Perhaps that is expected?  Maybe the version string didn't change with your
patch?

thomerson-rt01:~# apk update
fetch http://dev.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.9/packages/main/APKINDEX.tar.gz

thomerson-rt01:~# apk add -u dhcp
OK: 46 packages, 186 dirs, 3513 files

Thanks for all the help!

there is a known issue with the 'apk fix -u' not sure its fixed. Try:
 apk add -u dhcp

having packages downloaded from network to persist after a reboot is a
very new feature. (last week). I have nto tried it myself but i *think*
that it might be enough to:

ln -s /media/sda1/apks /etc/apk/cache

I'm interested in if it works.

Yes. The patch does not change the interna version string of dhcpd. try:

apk version dhcp
