I used Avon's videos to set Mystic up on a Pi and then use that same 
knowledge to set it up on Ubuntu.  Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS) is based on 
Debian the same as Ubuntu is.

Yes, that should work as well.  I've had Mystic running in a VPS at Lunanode 
with no issues.  Running it at a VPS (at the time) also allowed me to setup 
IPv6 access as my ISP didn't offer IPv6 back then.

The only weird thing to snag me up on the VPS was getting cryptlib to work, I 
had to go back to an older version of cryptlib, though that may have just 
been me fat fingering something.  Follow these instructions and you should be 
good:
