Secure servers do not include GUI packages. They are enormous, require elevated privileges, and have a poor security history.
- pjmlp 4y agoAnd secure containers also don't allow shell access, so.
- quesera 4y agoThere are gradients of "secure" in servers. No reasonably quasi-secure server in the last 25 years has included GUI packages, but has allowed and often depended on shell access. Modern deployment regimes which include ephemeral instances sometimes do not permit shell access. These are not the same things!
