UPDATE AUG 4 2018
Well, no one used the site at all. It's a pain to keep running on an old laptop, so I'm not going to keep it running anymore :)
I forget how to install dependencies... sorry about that. You'll need sqlite and a handful of other things.
Once you get the dependencies installed, start the app...
rails sand go to the home page:

This README was terribly out of date, so I wiped it clean.
Long and short, the site now lives. I occasionally backup the DBs with a script on the server machine, but other than that, it's as done as it's going to be. Instead of my family uploading pictures and audio recordings, most of them have opted to send me their pictures and recordings. I should have seen that coming. Oh well :)
An explanation of how to use the site is on its [home page](). It ain't perfect, but it's usable.
Nox.
