Question #183325 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
As far as I understand: using ssh means, that commands/apps are
processed on a remote system, but input/output is routed to/from the
local machine. So if you start an app that produces X11 output, you need
X11 forwarding to see anything, or you have to configure the app to run
headless (so no X11 output is produced) - but Sikuli scripts cannot run
headless.

So you have to find a way, that starts your Sikuli script completely in
the remote environment without knowing anything about the ssh connection
(e.g. cron job, XMLRPC, ...). And it needs the screen to be active.
