Lua may run everywhere in the sense that you can compile it anywhere, but somebody still has to compile it. For running ConTeXt you also need LuaTeX; just lua is not enough. There are great chances that LuaTeX compilation works out of the box on your machine, but you (or anyone else) still need to compile it. I don't have mips64 architecture. If you want to run it, you need to compile it yourself. (Alternatively you could grant ssh access to somebody else to do it instead of you.) After that I have no problem including general support for any other user on the same architecture, but I cannot do anything without appropriate machine. Setting everything up should not take more than one hour, but in case of bugs it might take time to resolve them. Once you have everything set up, it only takes a minute to run a script (and 10 minutes for your computer to finish compilation + some time to upload result), but you need to do it for every LuaTeX release without too long delays.
