Hi Robert, I guess this is pretty well documented elsewhere on the
Ibphoenix site, but you will face a number of issues, all quite easy to
resolve. In no particular order you need to address:
UDFs they are different and have a suffix .so, not .dll.
visibility of the database - who 'owns' it is different in Linux.
what tools do you use to maintain the database? Flamerobin is popular,
but others are available; I use Ibexpert, paid for, but there is a free
version. You would run this on a Windows machine targeting a remote
database.

As an example, I copied a customer database to a Raspberry PI running a
version of Linux from a dual Xeon machine running MS Server and after
about 1/2 hour it was all up and running. It just took a bit of
investigation about user rights, udfs.

Good luck.
