DHCP relay only

[maekee]

Hello,
I would like to Install a vm with ONLY the DHCP relay service (no fw, no dhcp server etc)
Is that possible? Its the only service we need because our switch has a bug which makes it more complex and we have a DHCP server in the network. Just want a slim VM that takes the minimum performance needed

You can certainly configure it that way if you want. You can disable the firewall, DHCP, DNS, and other services you don't need.

Nice, what is the minimum hardware requirements for that implementation?

As that is not a typical deployment, there isn't any way to know that without trying. Probably could be done with minimal RAM (512MB or probably less, but I wouldn't go lower than 256+swap), no reason to skimp on disk space, standard there is ~20GB for a VM. Again, may by able to get by with less but not much reason to these days. Single CPU core would do fine.
