[LINUX] Factorio Headless Server Guide

So, with credit to the Factorio wiki and cbednarski's helpful gist, I managed to eventually setup a Factorio headless server. Although, I thought the process could be nailed down/simplified to be a bit more 'tutorialised' and also to document how I got it all working for my future records.

The specific distro/version I'm using for this guide being Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS. Although, that shouldn't matter, as long as your distro supports systemd (just for this guide, not a Factorio headless requirement, although most distros use it as standard now). The version of Factorio I shall be using is 0.14.20, although should work for any version of Factorio 0.14.12 and higher.

Just a note to newcomers: If there are any issues with the installation steps, people in the comments are doing a good job

Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)
Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)
Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)
ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)
ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)

Local Postgres

This gist is an example of how you can simply install and run and extended Postgres using docker-compose. It assumes that you have docker and docker-compose installed and running on your workstation.

Install

Requires docker and docker-compose
Clone via http: git clone https://gist.github.com/b0b7e06943bd389560184d948bdc2d5b.git
Make load-extensions.sh executable
Build the image: docker-compose build

They basically all suggest that apparent improvements to the state of the art in ML and related fields are often not real, or at least the result of factors other than what the authors claim.
