NVIDIA drivers on Linux are rather finicky and do not like being overclocked without a monitor connected to them, so I had to trick them using a combination of lightdm and some other commands.
After countless hours, probably even days of banging my head against the monitor in despair to have my rigs work headlessly, and be actually be overclockable, I wanted to find a way that was simple, yet have the code and process be open-source. In contrast to operating systems like HiveOS, or NHOS, using MinerWrangler in conjunction with Ubuntu Server, you can actually understand each step of the process and have full control over your rigs as providers of the blockchain.
