This step-by-step guide has been verified on fresh CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 installs but should be applicable with little to no changes on most distributions. We will also suggest that you run the Factorio server as a separate user to harden security of your setup. Note that there are two distinct packages for Linux that can be used to run a headless server.

First is the usual Linux download, that contains the full game. The other is the special headless package. The headless package does not contain any files irrelevant for a pure server, such as graphics and sounds. It is also not linked against libraries that may not be present on a server machine, such as Xlib, libGL or libasound. This option should be selected if running in a 3rd party hosted server. The script will ensure you only ever use the most recent save when your server starts even if that was an auto-save while also letting you set a number of other settings like Autosave frequency and Latency settings.

You'll want to make sure that you know what game version your server is currently running, because some mods only work with specific versions and some older mods will not work on newer versions.

There is a handy filter option at the top of the page that will only show mods that are compatible with each main release of the game. With your file system open, navigate to your mods folder. It should currently only have one file present, mod-list. Click the Upload button in the top left, and you will be prompted to select your mod's. You can select and upload up to three at a time.
