Server compatibility and headless mode

Genymotion Desktop has not been designed to run on server systems.
Genymotion Desktop requires full GPU acceleration and a GUI to render the device display.
A full list of supported systems is available in "What are Genymotion Desktop requirements?"

On-premise solution

As an alternative, Genymotion offers a special on-premise solution to run a Genymotion image on your local server(s).
