How to enable Sunshine at boot (not just at login) on macOS?

I've recently installed Sunshine on a macOS machine. The installation went well. I think it had me run some launchctl command to enable autostart at login, which works well.

However, I've noticed that when I reboot, Sunshine doesn't start up until I log into my user account. I can work around this by enabling autologin, but then that means anyone who reboots my computer has access to my desktop environment.

Is there some way to get the Sunshine user service to start when my machine boots without enabling autologin?

I've read through LizardByte/Sunshine#1909, but I believe it's talking about a different thing.

For macOS I'm not sure. This is probably a general homebrew question though (not specific to Sunshine) so maybe you can search around and let us know if you find a way?
