Can the SQL server be hosted on a sever or VM ? And then all the clients can connect to it?

Hello I made a C# application with database and I want to deploy it on other computers but it's not working. It works fine on my computer even on release mode and when I install but on clients computers I get this error picture(sorry for bad quality)
Error I get is: System.IndexOutOfRangeException
I tried to make my connection string to various format but none seems to work on clients pc.
```
  name="KonektimiDB" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\ADR\Source\Repos\Ruby\Ruby\RubyDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
