Can I run Laravel Dusk on my Forge server?
Hi, I have been trying for a few days to get Laravel Dusk to run on my new Forge server (php 7.1, just provisioned, etc). My workflow includes a staging environment on the Live server, so i would like to be able to run my tests there.
Is there an accepted way to do this? With default settings, I get the error:
Failed to connect to localhost port 9515: Connection refused
I have tried a few things, but no success so far. Have you found a reliable way to do this? Thanks

Has typed a series of (complicated) steps that worked for me! Thank you
# makes sure all your repos are up to date
sudo apt-get update
# chrome dependencies I think
sudo apt-get -y install libxpm4 libxrender1 libgtk2.0-0 libnss3 libgconf-2-4
# chromium is what I had success with on Codeship, so seemed a good option
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
# XVFB for headless applications
sudo apt-get -y install xvfb gtk2-engines-pixbuf
# fonts for the browser
sudo apt-get -y install xfonts-cyrillic xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfonts-scalable
# support for screenshot capturing
sudo apt-get -y install imagemagick x11-apps
# Once all this has run through, you need to fire up xvfb on your homestead box. If you’re planning to # do this on a regular basis, you’ll want to get this setup on boot, but for the sake of testing things out:
Xvfb -ac :0 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &

I'm running on Valet, and I found that my APP_URL in my environment file was not the correct URL. Changing that solved the problem for me. Credit https://github.com/laravel/dusk/issues/6
