Hi, I have never used forge before.
Maybe you can compare the setup to this video his https://laracasts.com/series/learn-laravel-forge/episodes/19
Just a suggestion

I'm a bit confused as to how to set up php artisan queue:work on a server with Forge. At first, I set up a Daemon in Forge with php artisan queue:work however that did not start any of the jobs that were already queued up, nor new ones that I started with the app.
Then, I tried setting up a new worker under Queue for the site in Forge as per https://forge.laravel.com/docs/1.0/sites/queues.html
I tried both redis and database connection type. I checked Run Worker As Daemon (Laravel 4.2+) as I'm on Laravel 8 (my understanding is it provides a slight performance boost and happens automatically when doing php artisan queue:work?)
Everything else I left at default.
While it says the worker is running, the jobs that I'm starting with the app are not actually kicking off, until I manually go into the server and type php artisan queue:work
What can I do to resolve this issue?
