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.
