The initialization syntax for var s is wrong. You want one of these:

var s: Server = .{ // <-- leading dot as a placeholder for type
    // ...
};
// or
var s = Server{
    // ...
};

Without either a leading type or . in front of the curly braces, the exprission { ... } is a block. With a dot or type, it is a struct/union literal initialization, which is what you want.
