As we can see, there is not any mention about the webdriver.
All my tests were failed and the browser didn't run at all. I got the log snippet in the server's console:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.31.488763 (092de99f48a300323ecf8c2a4e2e7cab51de5ba8) on port 8315
Only local connections are allowed.
And the test's issue:
./vendor/bin/phpunit -v -c tests/phpunit.xml tests/src/Selenium/LoginTest.php
PHPUnit 4.8.36 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
Runtime: PHP 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
Configuration: /home/ghopper/work/***/tests/phpunit.xml

There was 1 error:

There were 4 skipped tests:
...
The questions:
Why Selenium runs without the webdriver.
How to debug the server? Where is the error and its cause?
How to check java and its environment?
P.S. I do the same things on an another PC and all works fine for me. I think the problem is in environment, not in the server's config.
