Factorio Headless Setup

Resources:

Check that your version of glibc is >= 2.18. 

robot01@apu01:~$ ldd --version
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.23-0ubuntu10) 2.23

Output of ldd command confirms glibc version 2.23.

Switch to /opt directory and download latest Factorio stable headless version (0.16.36 as of this writing) 

robot01@apu01:~$ cd /opt
robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo wget https://factorio.com/get-download/stable/headless/linux64
...

2022-04-09 09:36:49 (52.4 MB/s) - ‘linux64’ saved [57178436/57178436]

Rename file to match version (1.1.57 in this example) 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo mv linux64 factorio_headless_x64_1.1.57.tar.xz

Extract archived and zipped file 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo tar -xJf factorio_headless_x64_1.1.57.tar.xz
robot01@apu01:/opt$ ls -l
total 55844

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   57178436 Mar 29 08:42 factorio_headless_x64_1.1.57.tar.xz

Remove file (save space, you can always download again if needed) 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo rm factorio_headless_x64_1.1.57.tar.xz

Add a new user to run factorio and assign ownership of /opt/factorio directory to same user 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo useradd factorio
robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo chown -R factorio:factorio /opt/factorio/


Verify permissions show factorio for both user and group 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 4 factorio factorio 4096 May  1 21:12 factorio


Test Factorio binary by switching to factorio user then start server 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo su - factorio
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
$

Start server and look for something like "File /savename does not exist." 

$ /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server savename

As factorio user create /opt/factorio/ saves directory 

$ mkdir /opt/factorio/saves

At this point you can load up saved games or create some games. Before that I want to install Factorio init script

Exit from factorio user back to sudo account 

$ exit
logout

Switch to /opt directory 

robot01@apu01:/opt/factorio$ cd /opt

Clone Factorio init script from github 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo git clone https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init.git

Make Factorio start on operating system boot and restart if failure (configurable - I kept defaults for now) 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo cp /opt/factorio-init/factorio.service.example /etc/systemd/system/factorio.service
robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Sysvinit 

robot01@apu01:/opt/factorio$ sudo ln -s /opt/factorio-init/factorio /etc/init.d/factorio
robot01@apu01:/opt/factorio$ sudo chmod +x /opt/factorio-init/factorio

Show help 

robot01@apu01:/opt/factorio$ service factorio help
