You need at least 2GB of addressable memory (RAM + swap) to install and use GitLab!
With less memory GitLab will give strange errors during the reconfigure run and 500 errors during usage.
- 512MB RAM + 1.5GB of swap is the absolute minimum but we strongly **advise against** this amount of memory. See the unicorn worker section below for more advise.
- 1GB RAM + 1GB swap supports up to 100 users but it will be slow

So for a machine with 2 cores, 3 unicorn workers is ideal.
For all machines that have 1GB and up we recommend a minimum of three unicorn workers.
If you have a 512MB machine with a magnetic (non-SSD) swap drive we recommend to configure only one Unicorn worker to prevent excessive swapping.
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 have a 512MB machine with a SSD drive you can use two Unicorn workers, this will allow HTTP access although it will be slow due to swapping.
If you have a 512MB machine we recommend to configure only one Unicorn worker to prevent excessive swapping.
Since GitLab 8.0 one Unicorn worker will still allow all functionality (git access over ssh and http) because of [GitLab Workhorse](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/).
To change the Unicorn workers when you have the Omnibus package please see [the Unicorn settings in the Omnibus GitLab documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/settings/unicorn.md#unicorn-settings).
