My expected numbers: users ~ 50 max, concurrent clients/sessions < 20, 
hosts < 20.
I was thinking about a server with an old intel cpu, 4Gb RAM and smal 
HDD or USB key-based storage + an ethernet port.
I have no idea if it is a common use in IT to run such (critical) 
application on its own dedicated appliance.

This configuration should be enough.

Virtualization is everywhere, many users use IPA in virtualized 
environment :-)

Hello,

Could you recommend me a mini appliance/server to use as a
freeIPA server ?
I guess the main points are an ethernet port, minimal
consumption, robustness.

Hello,

I would say that minimal amount of RAM is 2GB with IPA 4.2, of
course amount of resources depends on many things.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/Preparing_for_an_IPA_Installation-Hardware_Requirements.html

Disk space at least 500MB for basic installation + baseOS + stored
data

I do not know if IPA is limited by a CPU in somehow, but with very
slow CPU you may need to increase timeouts (I saw the posts on
this lists that it is possible to run IPA on raspberry pi with
increased timeouts)

Maybe would be better if you write what do you need this minimal
configuration for and how many clients, users and connections
should IPA handle.

[Ainsworth, Thomas]

You could buy a couple of NUC's (or equivalent) with a SSD (or not) and run
a replica.  Extremely small footprint.  IPA itself is light weight; that is
part of the beauty of it.
