supervisor-config

[program:websockets]
command=/usr/bin/php /path/to/project/root/artisan websockets:serve
numprocs=1
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=your_user

how can edit nginx.conf

I'm just confirming that this configuration works as of today.

Thank you for the solution

I am hosting it in a SUBDOMAIN with application and socket on same port and domain.

In laravel broadcast we can use the host as 127.0.0.1. and port 6001

but when I changed it to domain name and port 443. It saying failed to connect.

I want to use the websocket for my other application also.

Please help

braodcast.php code

 'laravel-websocket-server' => [
            'driver' => 'pusher',
            'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
            'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
            'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
            'options' => [
                 'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
                 'host' => 'subdomain.example.com',
