Official requirements
Only plans with at least 8 GB RAM and 4 vCPU are listed. The figures below come from each project's own documentation.
| Software | Minimum RAM | Recommended RAM | CPU | Disk | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitLab Self-Managed | 8 GB | 16 GB | 8 | 40 GB | Linux, Docker |
GitLab Self-Managed: GitLab's installation requirements set 8 vCPU and 16 GB RAM as the single-node baseline, allow at least 8 GB in memory-constrained setups, and ask for 40 GB for the application (the package alone is about 2.5 GB) plus space for all repositories and 5-12 GB for PostgreSQL, with swap avoided. A separate memory-constrained guide shows it serving up to 5 developers on 2 GB RAM plus 1 GB swap and 20 GB of disk, with degraded performance. The Linux package supports Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04, Debian 11-13, RHEL and AlmaLinux 8-10 and others on amd64 and arm64, and GitLab 19.x needs PostgreSQL 17 or 18 and Redis 7.x or Valkey 7.2.
