Description:
The observer tool doesn't work in a headless version. Observer is essential BEAM/Elixir graphical tool to get insight into a running node. This is because elixir package depends on erlang-nox instead of the full erlang.

How much it is essential? I read something like "in case you have
GUI you may start observer". Anyway erlang provides erlang-nox, so
you can easy install it.
It really is essential. It is part of every book, youtube
introduction and tutorial on Elixir and it is simply assumed to
work. The Observer/GUI is integral part of how you reason about
Erlang (and thus Elixir) runnig program.
