## 2. Ruby
The use of Ruby version managers such as [RVM](https://rvm.io/), [rbenv](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv) or [chruby](https://github.com/postmodern/chruby) with GitLab in production frequently leads to hard to diagnose problems. For example, GitLab Shell is called from OpenSSH and having a version manager can prevent pushing and pulling over SSH. Version managers are not supported and we strongly advise everyone to follow the instructions below to use a system Ruby.
_**Note:** The current supported Ruby versions are 2.1.x. Ruby 2.2 and 2.3 are
currently not supported._
Remove the old Ruby 1.8 if present

## Ruby versions
GitLab requires Ruby (MRI) 2.1
GitLab requires Ruby (MRI) 2.1.x and currently does not work with versions 2.2
and 2.3.
You will have to use the standard MRI implementation of Ruby.
We love [JRuby](http://jruby.org/) and [Rubinius](http://rubini.us/) but GitLab needs several Gems that have native extensions.

## Hardware requirements
### 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 as much free space as all your repos combined take up.

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.
