minus-squareWolfLink@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 days agoNot programming skills, but sysadmin skills. Buy a used server on EBay (companies often sell their old servers for cheap when they upgrade). Buy a bunch of HDDs. Install Linux and set up the HDDs in a ZFS pool.

Look up “Raspberry Pi NAS,” there are a bunch of guides. Or you can repurpose an old PC, install some NAS distro, and then configure. There are a ton of options, very few of which require any programming.

Yes. You’ll have to learn some new things regardless, but you don’t need to know how to program.

Not programming skills, but sysadmin skills.
Buy a used server on EBay (companies often sell their old servers for cheap when they upgrade). Buy a bunch of HDDs. Install Linux and set up the HDDs in a ZFS pool.
