Puppetter times out when opening a URL

Background

I am running Puppeteer in an application locally that works fine. When I move it to a production debian server, it times out at the

page.goto(url) function.

Example

I have tried a bunch of different suggestions online. In the example below you will see a few options I have tried that were suggested on line. I have tried these all alone and in different combinations with each other. Yes I am that desperate at this point. 

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      args: [
        '--no-sandbox',
        '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
        '--ignore-certificate-errors',
        '--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list',
        '--user-data-dir']});
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto(
      `https://example.com/${template}?data=${JSON.stringify(req.body)}`, {waitUntil: 'networkidle0'}
    );

page.goto(url) works locally, but fails when running on server.

Question

Why is page.goto() failing on the server and is there any work around?

page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout is your option

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  args: [
    '--no-sandbox',
    '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
    '--ignore-certificate-errors',
    '--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list',
    '--user-data-dir']});

const page = await browser.newPage();
page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(3600); // 1 hour
await page.goto(
  `https://example.com/${template}?data=${JSON.stringify(req.body)}`, {waitUntil: 'networkidle2'}
);
