A quick guide for how to setup and configure a Factorio headless server on a Linux server or container. I've also included a script file I wrote that was the original template of this project.
In essence, this guide aims to download the server files and install them. This might also cover some networking elements if I feel like it later on.
Written for CentOS 7, CentOS 8 Stream, and Ubuntu Server 22.04/20.04 LTS. Milage may vary depending your platform.
An installed CentOS or Ubuntu server with SSH access setup, and sudo access for the Ansible user.
