What OS should I use?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
Some variation of Linux + BTRFS filesystem + Docker is what I use. Lots of good options for free.
Is that something I would have to download and combine, or is there an all in one version of that? I'm very new to this and don't even know where to begin looking.
Openmediavault combines these with a nice web interface
