minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•2 months agoYes. You’ll have to learn some new things regardless, but you don’t need to know how to program. What are you hoping to make happen?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•2 months 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.

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.
