Initial setup guide:

Follow this first to get the basic manual session working.

I decided to take it one step further, and execute the whole thing from Systemd automatically on my server. This did require a bit of tweaking.

NOTE: In my usage, I named the user steam (not steamuser), it's in the group users, and its home directory is /var/home/steam; adjust any paths, etc. below to suit your actual details.
