 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.

 ## Converting a GitLab backup file from MySQL to Postgres
+**Note:** Please make sure to have Python 2.7.x (or higher) installed.
 
 GitLab backup files (<timestamp>_gitlab_backup.tar) contain a SQL dump. Using the lanyrd database converter we can replace a MySQL database dump inside the tar file with a Postgres database dump. This can be useful if you are moving to another server.
