- 512MB is the absolute minimum but we do not recommend this amount of memory.
You will either need to configure 512MB or 1.5GB of swap space.
With 512MB of swap space you must configure only one unicorn worker.
With one unicorn worker only git over ssh access will work because the git over http access requires two running workers (one worker to receive the user request and one worker for the authorization check).
If you use SSD storage and configure 1.5GB of swap space you can use two Unicorn workers, this will allow http access but it will still be slow.

### Storage
The necessary hard drive 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](structure.md) contain an extra copy of each repo.

If you want to be flexible about growing your hard drive space in the future consider mounting it using LVM so you can add more hard drives when you need them.
