Whats the lowest possible price for a decent home/LAMP server? I was able to throw together a few builds online for $150-$250. Plan on hosting a simple file upload snd download website. Might try dumpster diving at my local college's computer science building to see if theres anything good.

Also, no case or bench needed

you could use an old smart phone for a LAMP server if you are really trying to save money.

Would an old galaxy s3 work?

Look for curb side computers. They're usually Pentium crap but functional. Should work fine, just act like it's a low spec VPS

Garage sale, i like it

>>53371483
yea sure.
you can either download an app/apps
or you can install linux on it, but i think you need root.. linux deploy worked for me when i tried it. would still be running it if i didnt pick up a spare pc to replace my server.

Not sure where you are, but in the Seattle area, older servers go for like $49. They're loud, but a DL 360 G5 w/ 8GB RAM, and 4 or 8 cores. 300GB drives were going 2x for $45 on Ebay not too long ago, so you get a functioning server with 300GB redundant SAS storage for $94. Seems pretty decent to me.

Are you feeling nostalgic or something? The only other reason for still using LAMP is being Pajeet.

8/10 - Did lol.

LAMP is the standard stack. ROR is also very common.

Other products have their uses, I'm sure, but things are industry standard for a reason.

use app engine's free tier. It's something like 5gb storage, 1gb transfer per day plus some light processing, all for free. You can set up alerts such that if you are ever charged for anything, your app shuts down until tomorrow.

Buy rPi

Probably your best bet. My dad fished out a 1st gen i7 rig out of one a couple of years ago and I found a stack of HPs on the side of the road Saturday and they all work fine, save for one having ram issues that were fixed by reseating the sticks. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Buy a refurbished laptop and a new SSD.

Yup, Javascript is really secure. Especially the part where you expose your database to client-run code.
