You can use it with 512MB of memory but you need to setup unicorn to use only 1 worker and you need at least 200MB of swap. The minimal requirement for an unmodified installation is 768MB.

But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least twice as much free space as your all repos combined take up. You need twice the storage because [GitLab satellites](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/structure.md) contain an extra copy of each repo. Apart from a local hard drive you can also mount a volume that supports the network file system (NFS) protocol. This volume might be located on a file server, a network attached storage (NAS) device, a storage area network (SAN) or on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume. +If you have enough RAM memory and a recent CPU the speed of GitLab is mainly limited by hard drive seek times. Having a fast drive (7200 RPM and up) or a solid state drive (SSD) will improve the responsiveness of GitLab. + # Installation troubles and reporting success or failure |
