Making headless server show up in public section

[Xterminator]

Heya,

So I'm playing around with setting up a headless server but I'm a bit stuck when it comes to listing it in the public in-game browsing section. I read through the wiki and it said I need to change the stuff in the server-settings file. I found the example file for that the /data folder but have a few questions of where to go from here and would love some help.

1.) Do I leave the file in the /data folder or do I need to put it somewhere else for the server to find it? Also do I need to rename it to something besides server-settings-example ?
2.) Do I need to specificy in the server text file to actually look for the settings file or will it do it automatically if its in the right place?
3.) It says/looks like I need to comment out or un-comment some parts for it to actually read the parts of the file I want. I don't know really anything about this type of stuff so I'm not sure how or what to comment out. By default all the stuff is in quotes " " so do I get rid of the quotes for parts I want the server to read or vice versa?

Thank you for any help you can provide. The wiki was very vague in regards to what actually needed to be done here. :/

server-Settings.json

rename the example file and put in your username and password to get an auth token for the game
and check the _current.log for error outputs or provide the log here the most interesing parts are always the parts with errors
