I've got a headless server running CentOS 7. I've got a user who wants to

don't have clear is how to set this up. I've just installed
xorg-x11-server-[Xorg, common]. I assume I need to run X, but I don't see
running this in runlevel 5.
Thoughts?

The easiest way to think of this is that the host on which you are going
to watch the output needs a running X server, the source just needs the
client application. Of course this also presumes that network and
permissions are all in place.
The test that I've always used is to run a simple xclient on the remote
host, xclock, xeyes, xterminal and see if it show up, if it does you are
good to go.
