Hello Albert25 ,
I just tried and made it work today on Ubuntu Server 18.04.4 LTS. As mentioned, the requirements are not fully met by default, so here is the list of what I had to additionally install (you probably alreayd have libc6):
sudo apt-get install libc6 sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa sudo apt-get install libxdamage1 sudo apt-get install libxfixes3 sudo apt-get install libxcb-glx0 sudo apt-get install libxcb-dri2-0 sudo apt-get install libxcb-dri3-0 sudo apt-get install libxcb-present0 sudo apt-get install libxcb-sync1 sudo apt-get install libxshmfence1 sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm1
After that, I had to make sure of the following:
sudo chown "$USER" "$HOME" sudo chown -R "$USER" ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox sudo chattr -R -i ~/Dropbox sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox
and that seemed to do the trick. You may need to adapt few things here and there.
Hope it helps.

And for those that want a minimal set of packages, as to not pollute your server too much with unneeded packages.
On Ubuntu 18.04 I needed:
sudo apt install libglapi-mesa libxcb-glx0 libxxf86vm1
