🚧 Project Context: Engineering Under Extreme Constraints

This section was added retrospectively to document the specific engineering challenges overcome during development.

Critical Hardware Instability (Disaster Recovery)

Developed on a depreciated classroom desktop with severe hardware degradation (Disk I/O errors).

• Challenge: Encountered critical boot failures (GRUB rescue mode & Early-stage Kernel Panic) approximately once a week.

• Response: Established a routine recovery process involving full OS (CentOS 7) re-installation and environment provisioning to ensure project continuity.

Network & Environment Constraints

• Network: Overcame the lack of static IP by implementing DuckDNS and configuring server binding with the domain to enable mobile testing on the local network.

• Dependency: Resolved version conflicts between Ruby, Rails 7, and Legacy SQLite (3.7) through log-based troubleshooting.

README

My hope for this article

I'm still a student, so I want a lot of feedback. If you have improvements, please post them to the non-main brunch

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get the application up and running.

purpose of this repository

A backup of a web services project I did for a college class. Only I used Ruby on Rails, while everyone else did it in PHP.

If you clone my project..

-> bundle install -> bin/rails db:migrate

If you want to use a domain on this server

rails s -p [port_number] -b [domain_name] example -> rails s -p 80 -b rollersm.duckdns.org

If you have a lower version of Ruby

You will need to modify the .ruby-version and the ruby in the gemfile.
