Good Morning Alexander, Thanks for the below. I do not need the AD side of things as I have nothing on prem. This is more to run on a vm on my proxmox server for other authentication on other vm's.
Removing the AD side of things, does that change anything in terms of the system requirements or not really?

This will be a slow setup. You can see our gating definitions in ipatests/prci_definitions/gating.yaml, they are for one giant VM that hosts nested VMs of the deployed test machines. master_1repl: &master_1repl name: master_1repl cpu: 4 memory: 6750 master_1repl_1client: &master_1repl_1client name: master_1repl_1client cpu: 4 memory: 8000 master_2repl_1client: &master_2repl_1client name: master_2repl_1client cpu: 5 memory: 10750 ad_master_2client: &ad_master_2client name: ad_master_2client cpu: 4 memory: 10596 adroot_adchild_adtree_master_1client: &adroot_adchild_adtree_master_1client name: adroot_adchild_adtree_master_1client cpu: 8 memory: 14466 ipaserver: &ipaserver name: ipaserver cpu: 2 memory: 2750 For example, a single IPA server above (ipaserver definition) is 2.75GB RAM, this is for small number of users and groups to test. For a small lab I'd suggest 8GB RAM, 2-4 CPUs. Disk space available is typically less relevant once you have 10-20GB available for the VM. -- / Alexander Bokovoy Sr. Principal Software Engineer Security / Identity Management Engineering Red Hat Limited, Finland Links contained in this email have been replaced.
