I want to set up FreeIPA for my home network. One server and a few clients, tablets, phones... One instance, no replicas.
The base server provides quite a range of services; firewall, PPPoE, DNS, DHCP, NTP, httpd (static, owncloud, mediawiki, wordpress, ...), dovecot, postfix, libvirt, mariadb, mythtv...
Most services run SELinux confined.

I am intending to use a fresh Fedora 24 installation once it is released. Currently F22 with F23 VM "playpen".

"More servers" is not an option on my budget.

The big question is: Should I install FreeIPA on the base machine or run a dedicated VM?

Changing after installation could be problematic!

Any advice appreciated.

Hi,

As you are at home, and already have several services running on the base server, I will recommend you just put FreeIPA on that same machine.
