Issues you might have

Remote composer install might fail for several reasons, usually missing dependencies or installs.

• Make sure DBAL php mysql extension is installed
• Make sure global environments variables are set in .profile
• Make sure remote env variables are set in ~.ssh/environment, change PermitUserEnvironment yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh

Install to think about

• Php extensions like mbstring, imagik, php-mysql,
• apt-get install acl

Change a few php.ini values
