## CPU
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend a processor with **4 cores**. At a minimum you need a processor with 2 cores to responsively run an unmodified installation.
|
||||
- 1 core works for under 100 users but the responsiveness might suffer
|
||||
- **2 cores** is the **recommended** number of cores and supports up to 100 users
|
||||
- 4 cores supports about 1,000 users
|
||||
- 8 cores supports up to 10,000 users
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory
|
||||
|
||||
- 512MB is too little memory, GitLab will be very slow and you will need 250MB of swap
|
||||
- 768MB is the minimal memory size and supports up to 100 users
|
||||
- **1GB** is the **recommended** memory size and supports up to 1,000 users
|
||||
- 1.5GB supports up to 10,000 users
|
||||
- 768MB is the minimal memory size but we advise against this
|
||||
- 1GB supports up to 100 users if you do not have individual repo's over 250MB
|
||||
- **2GB** is the **recommended** memory size and supports up to 1,000 users
|
||||
- 4GB supports up to 10,000 users

||||
## 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. 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 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.

|
||||
|
||||
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.
