This was my reference
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Operating_System_Requirements

I need to rebuild my system due to package corruptions and unintentionally
"upgrading" to sid from bullseye, I figured I'd take this time to do things
right.  Although this is only for home personal use, everyone keeps saying
that I shouldn't run my file server on my DC so I want to build a minimal
server to host 2 vms, one for the DC and the other for the file server.

I have an old FX-6300 with 32Gb RAM.  Is that enough to run 3 servers, 1
host and 2 vms for home use only? I have separated partitions but I have
also segregated data.  My data for my file server is spanned over 2 drives
and / and /home is on another [currently].  I suspect I will add the data
as storage to the file server vm along with a portion of the other drive
for / and /home and the DC will only have / and /home.  If Debian
requirements is 10GB HD and 2GB RAM, how much more is needed for Samba DC
and how much more is needed for Samba file server?

*Debian System Requirements*

   - Minimum RAM: 512MB.
   - Recommended RAM: 2GB.
   - Hard Drive Space: 10 GB.
   - Minimum 1GHz Pentium processor.
