My first question is: Can I use the same setup instructions Avon provided for
the Raspberry
Pi to set up Mystic on Linux? Not sure what O/S the Pi runs on.

Second question: If I use a VPS hosting package with root access, will this
work? I was
looking at: https://895-inet.com/linux-vps-web-hosting/ to see what is
available. Does
this package look like it would work?

Thanks,
Mike Dippel

I caveat this advice with the fact that I am not a Linux expert but yeah the
Raspberry Pi runs an OS now called Raspberry Pi OS which is based (I believe)
off Debian Linux. So the info I had put up was all couched for an OS that
shared Linux conventions e.g. /path/to/file instead of c:\path\to\file etc.

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:
