If you please study TrueNAS , you will see that it is possible to manage a server with a
"Web-based graphical user interface <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface> with optional SSL encryption" from your computer using a GUI desktop connected to the server in your local network . I do not know Ubuntu server in detail but there should be such features . This means that you do not need to convert your server to a gui desktop using state but to select a suitable web based management system and install it ( or them ) to manage your server from your workstation .
