Run webRTC-native on a headless Server platform build

I’m attempting to run the /godot-demo-projects/tree/master/networking/webrtc_signaling project on my headless build. I have successfully integrated the godotengine/webrtc-native plugin when running non-headless, and already solved the first issue of the webrtc.tres file not having a Server platform specific path, but I’m now getting the following error when trying to run:

ERROR: open_dynamic_library: Condition "!p_library_handle" is true. Returned: ERR_CANT_OPEN
   At: drivers/unix/os_unix.cpp:426.

I’ll admit, I’m slightly confused as to whether webrtc-native is a plugin vs a module (very new to Godot, sorry, still getting a hold on everything), so I’m not sure if this is another Project setting I’m missing prior to exporting my .pck file, or another build option/config change I need on my headless build. I’ve found some references to GDNative and headless not playing together, but they reference making changes to a .gdnlib file similar to what I made to the .tres file, and I’m not seeing that, again unsure whether we’re talking project vs engine settings here

Someone on the discord ended up answering this for me. The problem was that the *.so file that is part of the webrtc-native build needs to be placed alongside of the headless server executable with the *.pck file. As of right now, I don’t know how to bundle the plugin into my server build itself, but the workaround will do.
