R2modman forcing Steam login

I've been running a vanilla server using the start_headless_server.bat file you get when you install the dedicated server tool. When I start the molded server from r2modman it forces me to sign into steam before the server will start. When I try to play the game on my main PC or won't let me stay the game because it says it's already running on the other PC. It's there a way to start the modded server without signing into Steam?

install the mods on the server without r2modman?
Start the server as usual with start_headless_server.bat?

I'm not using start_headless_server.bat but NSSM to start my server directly as a windows service and the one mod required on the server works fine (noAFKevents) as long as it and BepInEx are "installed"(=extraced) into the correct folders each.

Oh and (I) don't use "desktop Steam" for a dedicated server.
Just use SteamCMD(.exe) like for most other dedicated Steam servers to download, install and maintain an account-less copy of VH's dedicated server (see official Wiki for examples etc.).
