Can Kodi run as a headless media server on RasPi?
I have a standard raspberry Pi 3B that in currently using as a PiHole DNS server. I have Kodi running on the Pi so when the GUI / Frontend is running, I can browse and watch media on my PS4. However, if like to use it as a headless server. I've tried Kodi --standalone but it still loads the GUI.
Anyone know how I can make it run as a system service that won't take the extra overhead of the frontend? It's currently loading to CLI instead of Xserver.

Try install minidlna to raspberry. Or some generic dlna server. PS4 will find it.
