If you want an interactive session on a remote server then you have to login via ssh -X (...) so the X11 starts up. That is what the error No X11 DISPLAY variable was set means. Did you try to run it interactively?

Take a look at: A: FastQC Error Problem

You will need to have a X-Windows program available on your end to accept X11 output. MobaXterm (PC) and XQuartz (macOS) are two free options.

You can also run fastqc on command line by just providing a set of file names. You do not need to use the GUI.
