That depends on what you mean by 'graphical mods'
To install minecraft mods you'll need the Forge mod loader: https://files.minecraftforge.net/
I haven't done this for a server myself, but from what I understand it is as easy as:
| Code: |
java -jar forge-(version_number)-installer.jar --installServer
|
Running that in your server's directory should install the mod loader, now you can just drop the mods you want to install in the 'mods' directory of your server.
However, most mods require that they are installed both server and client side. The procedure for installing mods on the client is basically the same, install Forge and drop the mods in the 'mods' directory.
For client side mod management I highly recommend: https://gpo.zugaina.org/games-action/multimc5
Note that some minecraft mods require specific minecraft versions to work, in this case you might want to downgrade client and server to match the mods recommended minecraft version.
For servers there is also Bukkit, which is not technically not a 'mod loader' instead it is a 'plugin loader'. These plugins are server side only, so no need to edit the client. However, as far as I know, Forge and Bukkit do *not* combine, so it's either mods or plugins but not both.
If by 'graphical mods' you mean shaders; These are client side only, the installation procedure is simple: install forge, drop the 'optifine' mod in the 'mods' directory and drop the shaders you want to use in the 'shaderpacks' directory.
And if by 'graphical mods' you meant texturepacks/resourcepacks; No need to install any mod loader for that, just drop the zip file in the 'resourcepacks' folder of the client. In principle these are client side only, however you can set the property 'resource-pack' in your servers config file to the direct link of a certain resourcepack. This will prompt all clients to install said resourcepack automatically.
Hope this helps you,

In case AndrewAmmerlaan's answer wasn't exhaustive enough and by "graphical mods" you meant "GUI for the server", here's a list of server GUI's on the Minecraft Wiki, see if any fit your needs.
