We haven't tested it and certain features were developed with the assumption of the environment it runs in (GPIO for speaker feedback, WiFi exists and is managed by NMCLI). We are working to expand hardware so we will be sorting this out sooner than later. If you'd like you can try installing the binaries produced by the build process to the server and see where things go wrong.

However, we recommend not doing this
Run in a VM instead if you don't want to provision separate hardware
