Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).
When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.
But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.

THX at all for so much nice comments. Got some good inspiration again. Maybe I search a little more for a little more potent mini PC. Buy an external drive as back up and use my koofr account a it more. Think I will go with Debian and a DE. Crucial or Kingston as storage looks nice. And yeah need to look what can I too with wireguard.
