Description

There should be documentation that covers how to run a dedicated server for OpenRCT2. This should cover things like OpenRCT2 user permissions, starting the server using systemd, and other handy things to know when running OpenRCT2 on Linux in headless mode.

Should this documentation cover "basic" server things such as port forwarding and good network security practices, or should it focus on just how to get OpenRCT2 running in a headless mode?

Research direction

Start by deciding whether the guide covers only running OpenRCT2 headlessly or also port forwarding and network security. Document OpenRCT2 user permissions, systemd startup, and other practical Linux server guidance; the work is done when a newcomer can follow the guide to run a dedicated server.
