Yeah that's what I did.  It installs as it's own user.  I can login from anywhere now.  I just forwarded one of my domain names to my gateway, and from there to the http port on my ubuntu "server".  It has control for network miners as well.  Was a bit tricky to get it all setup adding the custom miner and all, but there's plenty of documentation out there.  Make sure you change the defualt minera admin login and minera site login credentials if you plan to expose it to the web.
