X clients (e.g. the remote application) find the X server (e.g. your local system) via the $DISPLAY environment variable, and are authenticated for connection via xauth cookies.
You must either allow a direct connection from the remote system to the local system and set $DISPLAY appropriately (e.g. export DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0 or DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0 xclock) and propagate the cookie to the remote system, or use something like SSH's X forwarding (i.e. ssh -X user@remotehost xclock) in order to automatically allow them to display on your system.
export DISPLAY=local:0.0 should be the right answer. You could just test it to see the result
just go and install xrdp and x11rdp on the destination host then connect using remmina or any other remote client and choose for connection the (console)
