I don't want to totally confuse you but there's another option: You could go with a on-premise backend as a service (baas) solution.
One baas candidate is dreamfactory: http://www.dreamfactory.com/ It could be installed using bitnami in nearly 5 minutes. https://bitnami.com/stack/dreamfactory Dreamfactory provides ready to use APIs for MySQL and MongoDB and a lot of other stuff, including a file upload API. Going with this kind of solution you don't need any database knowledge. Just call the provided services and you're done!
