Apparently I don’t know how deploy the offscreen platform.
I have created a directory on the deployment machine called platforms that lives in the same directory with my executable.
Inside the platforms directory is the following:
# ls
libqlinuxfb.a    libqminimal.a    libqoffscreen.a    libqxcb.a
libqlinuxfb.prl  libqminimal.prl  libqoffscreen.prl  libqxcb.prl
libqlinuxfb.so   libqminimal.so   libqoffscreen.so   libqxcb.so

When I attempt to run my app I get the following error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "offscreen".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Do I need to include something inside my executable to make it aware of the other platforms?
