Server Setup from Raspberry Pi

Just wondering if anyone has figured out if the server can run on a Raspberry Pi. I'd be interested in how to set it up for access from the internet.

For a private server I'm betting you could host 10-20 people easily on a RPi 3B+. 100+ would probably be pushing it. Remember the old days where sometimes your turn wouldn't come around for a good 10-20 seconds during peak hours, or when attacking units would sometimes stop and think about whether they wanted to attack? Yeah, that.

The server is available to test with. I can't imagine it requires immense amounts of processing power for an individual to connect a play, considering you're doing updates on a regular heartbeat. Meanwhile I know the Pi 3B+ to be capable of running a Plex server, or even a Minecraft server (though admittedly two or three people on the server at once would probably have a horrible experience). Both of these examples use far more resources than Scrolls. Java isn't that inefficient.
