Accessing FAH beta client 8.1.11 on a headless server

I am testing out 8.1.11, and it installed smoothly on my Ubuntu system. However, my server is headless and so I need to be able to access the GUI remotely. The instructions suggest that you have to go to: https://app.foldingathome.org/ on the local machine, but my local machine does not have a web browser. Is there any way to access the screen remotely from another system? v7 allowed this, and I am hoping that the v8 Beta has this capability too.

Thank you.

Update - I see the information by running fahclient --help. I am going to explore these settings now.

I am using the following config and am getting a 404 error when I go to http://<IP of local machine>:7396. Am I missing a setting?

/usr/bin/fah-client --allow=<home_ip_range>/24 --http-addresses=<IP of local machine>:7396 --log=/var/log/fah-client/log.txt --log-rotate-dir=/var/log/fah-client/

Yes, the solution is on that thread thanks to the tremendous efforts by kbernhagen,
