The reason I suggested nextcloud.scm is that there are quite a few 
maintained plug-ins[0] (‘apps’).  It would be nice if those too 
could be installed with Guix.

While that won't happen right away, I prefer having the entire 
stack in a separate file rather than in a ‘NextCloud section’ of 
sync.scm.  It's not of vital importance :-)

I tried to apply your original mail as a patch but it failed.  It 
looks like your MUA wrapped lines where it shouldn't have, 
treating your valuable patch as mungible text.

Try sending the revised version as an attachment, or using git 
send-email[1].

Disclaimer: click at your own risk, but all the ‘apps’ I checked 
were FSDG-OK.
