Hi John, I haven't actually set up my NAS completely yet. However I have setup 
the software I'll be using for NFS. I am running a docker container of Owncloud 
Infinite Scale(OCIS) on NixOS. I just use NixOS as it is my daily driver OS, 
however it isn't necessary to use, as long as you are able to run docker on 
whatever OS. OCIS is the new version of Owncloud(OC) which has been written in 
GO from scratch I believe and is intended to be used by enterprise environments 
with many users, therefore it is very stable and secure. OC is written in PHP 
and is still used by many people, however I don't recomended using it. I think 
most of the development focus is now on OCIS rather than OC. 

One major difference with OCIS is that you can't install apps like you can with 
OC and Nextcloud. I don't believe there are any plans to add app support, which 
I think is good, they should just focus on file storage. With nextcloud you can 
download calendars, news feeds, radio, mail servers and clients, contact 
storage, weather apps etc. However, I prefer to use dedicated software in their 
own containers for each requirement I have, rather than use one piece of 
software, such as nextcloud, that tries to be a jack of all trades, but isn't 
great at any singular task. I Like the Unix philosophy, do one thing and do it 
well. I have also heard many complaints about nextcloud corrupting user's file 
storage and having other database issues. Also the encryption in nextcloud is 
not good, to say the least, as far as I've read. I don't have first hand 
experience however.

I haven't yet looked into what software I will run for an e-mail server.

Yeah, I don't know how hard or easy that would be. But it seems like it should 
be possible if we can already run virtual machines in Sculpt.
