How to run Laravel Websockets in production (ubuntu + apache2)?

Question

I'm using the Laravel Websockets package https://beyondco.de/docs/laravel-websockets/getting-started/introduction.

In my local dev server I run it using php artisan websockets:server and it works fine, but I would like to know how can I run it in my production server (Ubuntu + Apache2).

Is this a product support question better suited for a Laravel Websockets forum? — Jeter-work, Dec 09 '20 at 13:13

After run your websocket server, you need proxypass to your apache. like below config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ServerName your.domain.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:6001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:6001/
</VirtualHost>

change 6001 to your websocket port.

To run in background you need to add your websocket server in backround using nohup or pm2 . example:

pm2 start "php artisan websockets:server"

or using nohup

nohup php artisan websockets:server

My suggestion to have supervisord , so you can setup php artisan websockwt:serve – San K Dec 09 '20 at 13:06
I still have to run `php artisan websockets:serve` on production? Or just the apache config is enough? – Fantasmic Dec 09 '20 at 13:09
@Fantasmic you need to run it using supervisord, pm2 or nohup – Muhammad Dyas Yaskur Dec 09 '20 at 22:12
