In my table "jobs" have 5 jobs, i used the process "php artisan queue:listen" on localhost then it ran all jobs and finished. But when i used this process on server then it only once ran one jobs (same "php artisan queue:work"). I use queue_driver is "database".

TL;DR
php artisan queue:work = run one queued job and stop
php artisan queue:listen = run all queued jobs and listen for more until stopped
Further detail:
How are you running the commands? Are you just opening a terminal and running it or do you have a cron job to run at intervals?
If you're just opening a terminal and running php artisan queue:work will complete one task on the queue then stop, whereas if you run php artisan queue:listen it will process all the jobs in the queue and continue to listen for any further jobs until it is stopped.
Read further in the docs regarding queue:work:
Starting The Queue Listener
Laravel includes an Artisan command that will run new jobs as they are pushed onto the queue. You may run the listener using the queue:listen command:
php artisan queue:listenProcessing The First Job On The Queue
To process only the first job on the queue, you may use the queue:work command:
php artisan queue:work
What you should be doing?
I am guessing what you ideally want to do on your server is set up a cron job to run continuously at intervals and have it run queue:work. Better yet, acquaint yourself with the docs and make a decision after that.
