So reading your requirements I’d say _all you’d need to do_ is set the data directory to NC to the syncthing directory. When new files are added SyncThing will see them and replicated, similarly I believe NC runs a scan periodically to pick up files in the data dir (occ files:scan) so it could well be possible to replicate _to_ the NC Pi too.

MariaDB and PHP7 are fine, NGINX isn’t officially supported but there are several topics about it on the forums here with example configs and such.

I only envisage permissions being a concern, since NC requires the web-user (www-data, etc) to own the files. That’s probably workable though with some thought.
