I'd like to use the workbench engine on a remote headless server (linux). However, blender crashes giving me the following error:

Unable to open a display

Is this even possible?

PS: Please excuse the rather meaningless tag. However, neither headless, workbench or server exist as tags.

As of today, it is apparently not possible to render on a headless server, when using the Workbench or the EEVEE engine:
