Access error running envoy in Laravel 5.7

I created envoy file in my laravel 5.7 app, but running on my local comp it I got error :

    $ envoy run deploy
    PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(/home/user/.ssh/config): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/user/.composer/vendor/laravel/envoy/src/SSHConfigFile.php on line 33
    [email protected]'s password: 

Are that wrong access on my local system ?

Which commands have I to run ?

Thanks!

envoy execute with web server privileges usually (www-data) try to execute like this

sudo su -u www-data envoy run deploy

I tried to run you command, but got error :

$ sudo su -u www-data envoy run deploy
su: invalid option -- 'u'
Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]
...

I made several attempts also, but failed :

$ sudo su www-data envoy run deploy   
This account is currently not available.
$ sudo su lardeployer envoy run deploy
sh: 0: Can't open envoy

Could you please provide a link, where these options are described ? I do not see at https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/envoy

  1. Could you, please, how setting password to empty string influence on the deploy work? Passwords on local system and on server are different.
  2. Have I too run on my local ubuntu command
envoy run deploy

under root?

I did not find to these questionbs in the docs https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/envoy

If your in live server fill this in database.php. I am assuming that your are using mysql.

    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'Boxbooking2_DEV'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', '1'),
