I would use Ruby/Rails.

I would recommend you use whatever you are most comfortable with since what you are describing is build-able in nearly any language/framework.

Without getting into what the personal use case is ... what you are describing could possibly be done with something like Google Sheets? It sounds like overkill to use a full on hosted custom built solution when it is 1-2 users updating a single table of rows of some kind of data.

If this is a personal use case and you want to learn a framework/language for web development then that's different.

I wanna stay away from Google as much as I can. Also, as I mentioned earlier I will probably add some kind of automation to access the page from Linux command line, and Google won't help here.

I am considering maybe learning Rails. I just worry if it would be too overkill or too complex for it.

I am also considering just using Ruby with CGI.
