How can someone without programming skills make a cloud server at home for cheap?

Yes. 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?

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.

Or install TruNAS and chill.

I went with Linux and BTRFS because I just need a mirror. Lots of options and even more guides.

The easiest way is NextCloud.

Raspberry Pi or an old office PC are the usual methods. It’s not so much programming as Linux sysadmin skills.

Beyond that, you might consider OwnCloud for an app-like experience, or just Samba if all you want is local network files.

Cheapest is probably a Raspberry Pi with a USB external drive. 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.
