Yeah no. There was a time (early 2000s) when Apple made half-decent server hardware and operating systems. Those days are over. Apple has vocally abandoned the server market, and trying to use MacOS as a server today is an exercise in futility. Too many things require the GUI, and Apple's intense focus on security theater makes everyday server operations a nightmare.
