Hey guys im having a hard time launching the server on a Virtual Headless Ubuntu server. The main server itself is an embedded Linux distro and will not run most applications. But i can create a Virtual Headless server with full functionality. (Its a TS-1263U-RP).
Anyway ive got the latest Factorio Headless server for Linux 0.14.22, its extracted and moved to /opt/factorio/
Ive created a user "factorio" with disabled-login and no-home.
For a reference ive been following this page but i think the instructions are out-of-date https://gist.github.com/cbednarski/3ada27b2c401cc163dc4
Anyway im stuck at configuring the config-path.cfg file (Do i need to change anything inside) and creating an actual config.ini, of which i have no clue how to and cant find any information on your wiki.
If i launch the server as is i get the following message "0.000 Error Util.cpp:57: Ther is no package core in /usr/share/factorio" (Please note im attempting to run the server as root for testing purposes. I will be setting up a startup script to run the server under the factorio user with all the correct privileges.)
Also does the headless server create a new world or do you have to create a world on a client and upload it to the server?
If there is an actual current setup guide for a Linux headless server i would be grateful if i could get the link.
Thanks
Ubuntu Server 16.04 wont start

Excellent, it worked thanks.
Maybe that link should be stickyed because at the moment out of 5 guides i googled to install the headless server on Linux this is the only one that worked. It also tell users how to create a User in Linux so you dont run the server as Root which 2 of the guides suggest to do for convenience.
