Contributing to FOSS as a Sysadmin (infosec.pub)

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.

The way I help, as a Sysadmin, is primarily by using foss software in my job and feeding back with bug reports, issues and so on. I've raised several hundred issues on Github this way, and try to do them concisely, accurately and with as much relevant information as I can.
