-> **Not recommended:**
-> In cases where you must run `veilid-server`
-> without `systemd` (e.g., systems that use OpenRC, or containers),
-> you _must_ run the `veilid-server`
-> as the `veilid` user.
-> Do this manually by running as root:
->
-> ```shell
-> # Force-allow login by setting shell
-> usermod -s /bin/bash veilid
-> # Run veilid-server as veilid user
-> # Note that by default, veilid user is still passwordless.
-> sudo -u veilid veilid-server
