Would be interesting if it would run correctly on Linux. Current mono supports .net 4.7, so it should work. Compiling also works as Travis CI is actually running on Linux.
To take this further, it would be nice to know if it would run on ARM servers (e.g. scaleway), too.

After some minor adjustments I got it working on Linux (Arch), except building of the AdminPanel's javascript.
The goal is to be able to build and run it on Linux right after cloning the repository.

To get closer to build AdminPanel under Linux, you have to use msbuild - it's not possible to pass the OutputPath to the other targets with xbuild - a bug?
Then TransformBabel needs a windows-independent JS-Engine (VroomJs), however I didn't get it to work. The documentation for React.NET on Linux is flawed, as it depends on a SVN repository which is not available anymore.
CopyScripts works - except the bundling of CSS/JS. The new msbuild somehow behaves differently and stops building :-(
All in all, running the server on Linux works, but building doesn't. We may look into improving that at a later date ;)

Simplified AdminPanel javascript builds

As I can only guess, msbuild.exe was called manually because otherwise
it's not possible to pass the OutputPath to the other targets - a bug of
mono's xbuild?
However, as there is now msbuild, we can use a cleaner syntax now.
However, building under linux still doesn't work completely.
