If you are talking about a Debian mirror, there are some resources here:
https://www.debian.org/mirror/
If you are talking about a separate repository to the existing
repository, that sounds like a Debian derivative. Personally I would
encourage people to contribute to Debian rather than starting new
derivatives, except for experiments that will be re-integrated into
Debian.

The existing options for building software on other people's computers
are documented here:

I think that the hardware you are offering could be useful to the
Salsa CI or Deb-o-matic services, I'm not sure how easy it is for them
to integrate more hardware though.

In my opinion, the best way to give back is to be involved in
producing Debian; testing, packaging, bug fixing etc and there are
many ways to do that, some documented here:
