You can use a user password to login over SSH or public key. It is a matter
of configuring the sshd accordingly and using either method from the client.
Yes.
But now I've got a new problem (or problems) that might be gentoo-related:
/Warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined
and '/run/user/1010' does not exist

server socket for display :2 not found
I don't know anything about xpra, but the error points to a user account not
being available/configured correctly?
I'm thinking it has to do with the configuration of the configuration
files, as used by both server and client, locally and remotely.
Have you tried connecting locally on the server with no user (you'll be
already logged in), before you try connecting from the client remotely using
the correct user@host incantation?
That was a good idea, logging in locally. I got the same error, though.

$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR *does* exist, on the server and the client.
/run/user/1010 exists on the (nixos) client, but there's no /run/user on
gentoo (that I can see). Therefore, my $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to
~/.xpra, which is present and rwe by the user, as is ~/.xdg/xpra.
There's a ~/.xdg/xpra/2/socket with a recent timestamp. There's nothing
relevant in /tmp on the server or the client.
Clearly related is this, when I try to stop xpra on the server:
/$ xpra stop
xpra initialization error:

/$ ps -ef | grep xpra

Hmm ... the UID cannot say "user" unless you created the username as "user"?
It was anonymized.
