Hi,

I am currently trying to host a project using plotly and orca and getting the following error:

```
[Return code: 127]
/var/www/anaconda3/lib/orca_app/orca: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Note: When used on Linux, orca requires an X11 display server, but none was
detected. Please install Xvfb and configure plotly.py to run orca using Xvfb
as follows:

```

However, my hosting cloud server does not allow me access to the required are to install Xvfb. Has anyone used any alternative display server to Xvfb, or anything other than orca for the static image? Or can plotly only use orca?

Thanks for your help
