Yeah, OS X Server is lots of fun from the command line, although I’d take Linux for that since you still can’t update it without control over the GUI. The server package does include more than the front-facing app from the Mac App Store, though; some of the pieces of the server like the database, collaboration, profile manager, caching, etc are inside the app bundle and are started from within it. Hence, when an OS update comes out, the server becomes inaccessible until you manually update and relaunch the Server app. The daemons that start up will check to see if they are compatible with the version of the OS they’re running on, and unfortunately that includes the server manager itself. But it’s still worth it for me, for the Caching service, which is why I recommend it.
