I have no idea what you mean by solo server compiles. I did a search on the forum for that phrase and didn't come up with anything useful.
I've been trying to go the second route you suggested, but I can't figure out how to actually access the server. The documentation is a little patchy/confusing. Everything I try either results in the client erroring out, or just displaying the list of public servers (without the one I'm running.)
Is there a slightly more user-friendly guide to creating a server somewhere other than
