Windowless Source / gui

Question

Is it possible to fully run gource (scm-visualizer) without gui and windows? I just want to make a video to a file. This is possible using commands like:

gource --output-ppm-stream - | ffmpeg .. 

in linux. But not on server-os without a graphical interface. I did not find any explicit statements about this.

Please tell me if I missed something!

Yours faithfully,

Gource uses OpenGL to draw and simply does not necessarily record rendered frames afterwards, so it cannot work without rendering.
