I am looking into building or acquiring a small fairly silent low power
web server for my home office.
Reason is that I need to develop and run a small number of Ruby2 Rails 4
applications. These will have low traffic around 200 hits per day
possibly up to 500 hits over 24 hours in heavy load times, but most of
the time we expect 20-40 per day.
It will be turned off at 10:30 pm and restarted about 8-9 am.
It will be Centos or Fedora OS, Ubuntu has been recommended but I prefer
Fedora.
I have a TG782t modem.
Have looked into shared servers, VPS, Heroku and each has more problems
than enough.
Shared servers won't host Rails.
VPS is way too expensive for the small requirements
High security is not needed, if it got hacked I'd just reinstall
everything. But I do need my developer pc isolated against any attacks
Heroku uses only postgres I would rather mariaDB, sqlite or mysql.
Apparently postgres doesn't handle images too well but I have no
knowledge on that.
What would you recommend please.
----
Heroku
free for your purposes and fully supports RoR
PostgreSQL is in my opinion, much more reliable than MySQL/MariaDB.
In essence, RoR abstracts the database functionality so you could
relatively easily swap between different database servers or even do
development on MySQL and deployment on Postgres.
Pictures should not be in the database in any event. You might want to
check into something like Amazon S3 for storing pictures.

Thanks Craig
I have it on heroku for dev/test.
Not sure about it being free, it seems that Heroku provides a number of
free hours which when exhausted start costing and those costs seem to
get to hundreds of Dollars a year, even up to a thousand Dollars a year
by their calculator, unless I'm not understanding their pricing structure.
After the hours are exhausted, does Heroku still charge for in and out
when developing?
I couldn't find anything in the charges/costs to explain.
