Is it possible to run a graphic host on a server with no X?
I.'d like to run a few hosts like Slim Server/ LMS and Kodi, amongst others, on a
headless cli server. Does such a thing make any sense at all? Obviously there'd be a
"head" for Kodi, Slim Server etc, but not the server?
This is exactly what X was originally designed to do. The 'X server' is
your terminal (i.e. the machine with the display, not the machine
running the hosted software). The hosted apps are its clients, even
though they're running on what is conventionally called a server. The
terminology can be confusing.
