An "OSM Server" can mean many things - it might mean a place to serve map tiles (or vector data), something to handle geocoding, something to handle routing, or something that allows users to edit a map.

I'm guessing that you want a tile server, and I'd suggest looking at https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-16-04-2-lts/ if that is the case. Also have a look at the "using tiles" section.

If you just want to display tiles then yes, a tile server is OK. If you want to do more (allow users to create routes between places that they click on a map) then you'd need more - but it depends entirely on what you want to do.
