# Memory
We recommend you to run GitLab on a server with at least 1GB of RAM memory. 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. On a server with 1.5GB of memory you are able to support 1000+ users.
# Hard disk capacity
The necessary hard disk space largely depends on the size of the repos you want
to store in GitLab. But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least twice as much
free space as your all repos combined take up. 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.

# Storage
The necessary hard disk space largely depends on the size of the repos you want
to store in GitLab. 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.
