Some more info can be found here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI. I assume you start with a clean install of Ubuntu Server 16.04 (some modifications may be needed for older versions of Ubuntu). Depending on your needs you can do these:

Minimal GUI:

sudo apt install xorg
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends openbox
Run the command startx and openbox will start (you can open a terminal there and run any application you want)

# Bash Script by https://gist.github.com/mitchellkrogza
# ************************************************************
# This script clears the log file and database of Fail2Ban
# This resets Fail2Ban to a completely clean state
# Useful to use after you have finished testing all your jails 
# and completed your initial setup of Fail2Ban and are now
# putting the server into LIVE mode
