I gussed that I have an issue with missing lib: libXrender.so.1

I am using on the production ubuntu 16.04 ruby:2.4.1 and rails 5.1.4 Can I get your support please?

It sounds like your production server doesn't have an xserver installed.

sudo apt-get install libxrender1

should work for you on Ubuntu.
