How to launch an x-application from the terminal without logging into the graphical system?

Question

linux

You need to run the application from the cron (1cv8 in "batch mode", with a bunch of command line parameters, creating databases, etc., no user reaction is required) on a Debian 9 server. The application requires a graphical interface. If you run it from a terminal opened in a graphical interface, everything works fine, but it does not work as expected from a clean console.
In which direction to dig?
