I don't know which message you're replying to here. The convention on mailing lists is to cite the respondent and the specific text you're commenting on. Your mail client should do this by default unless you've configured it differently. If you were replying to my message, then you seem to have misunderstood me. I'll repeat: the *X server* is the machine with the display. The *X clients* are the apps that want to use the display, which in your scenario are running on the headless machine. > So, what I'm effectively looking to do is run a full blown workstation as the host server? No, you can do that but the existence of a physical display on the 'host server' is irrelevant to what you're asking. > But, then with Wayland, Docker, containers and other techmology more recent than X - what's the best stratergy? I guess what I'm really asking is: someone must be doing this already somewhere - can anyone point me there? (Without wanting to start a flame war or anything silly) Those are all different things. Docker and containers have nothing specific to do with this question. Wayland is display technology different from X, and not the way you want to go at this time as it doesn't directly support remote access. You'd have to juggle it with VNC or RDP to get what you want. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
