I am currently learning to be a sysadmin and I have no software development skills. I love FOSS very much and want to contribute to several projects, including non-networked ones.

How can I do this with my skillset? I have a very small (16GB RAM) server that I could offer to these projects as a build server or web host. IDK what else I could do.

While I don't know what exactly you mean by sysadmin, it sounds to me as if you'd be better at setting up (and maintaining) CI/CD than most normal developers and that's something that'd be very valuable to lots of projects out there.
