[PageOneX] [dev] New round of development in PageOneX

Hello,

Pleasure to meet you Juanjo.  Glad to see some new life breathing into the
project.  We host it here and the civic media servers, and I confirmed with
Ethan that he is willing to continue to do so.

* We are using RVM, but are switching to a containerized deployment system
soon.  That means it'd be best to think about Heroku-style deployment (like
PageOneX originally did).
* We will be using Dokku <http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/> for
containerized deployment to our servers, we you will be able to deploy with
a `git push` (once we set keys up). We are migrating our hosted
applications to this mode now, so this is super good timing!
* Image storage is the only complicated thing to think about... right now
the `assets/images/kiosko` folder is 115GB (!).  It'd be great if you could
prioritize a feature change that lets us specify the root image storage
path via a environment variable.  That would allow us to use the Dokku
persistent storage path
<https://github.com/dokku/dokku/blob/master/docs/advanced-usage/persistent-storage.md>
to
specify a storage point on our giant 10TB network drive while still
supporting containerized deployment, rather than having it fill up our root
drive (as it does now)

Sound good?

Rahul
