I'm wondering if an alternate option here Mark is to use the presence of a defaults.inf in one of the known locations or via PREFIX, similar to src/lib389/lib389/paths.py, or even exposing that in a tool like ds_present that returns a 1/0 based on if a defaults.inf can be found. That would solve the case with lib389 present but not a 389-ds-base. Simply loading Paths() isn't enough, because it's lazy loaded. but you could do Paths().with_systemd to trigger the read?

There are several checks we do before we load the Directory Server UI. 
First we check if 389-ds-base is even installed.  This is the rpm
check.  If it is installed, then we check if there is at least one
instance available (via lib389).  If any of these conditions are not met
we load a unique page describing the problem and how to fix it.

At this time the cockpit plugin will NOT work with custom PREFIX'ed
builds as there is no way to tell cockpit or lib389 that DS is under a
custom location.   Checking for defaults.inf might be an option to find
and set the PREFIX env var when calling the CLI from the UI, but it
would still require a significant amount of grunt work to the UI source
code to make this work.  I wonder if the ".dsrc" functionality could be
extended to handler this case and set the PREFIX in lib389 for us? 
Contributions are always welcome :-)
