Are there specific Docker Compose configurations for WebSocket ports

1. Expose the WebSocket Port:
- In your `docker-compose.yml` file, make sure to expose the WebSocket port that your application is using. For example:

yaml
     services:
         websockets:
             image: beyondcode/laravel-websockets
             ports:
                 - "6001:6001"
     

2. Configure the WebSocket Server:
- Ensure that the WebSocket server is configured to listen on the correct port. For example, in the Laravel WebSockets configuration (`config/websockets.php`), set the `port` to the exposed port:

php
     'port' => env('LARAVEL_WEBSOCKETS_PORT', 6001),
     

3. Configure the Pusher/Broadcasting Settings:
- Update the Pusher configuration in your `config/broadcasting.php` file to match the exposed WebSocket port:

php
     'pusher' => [
         'driver' => 'pusher',
         'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
         'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
         'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
         'options' => [
             'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
             'encrypted' => true,
             'host' => env('LARAVEL_WEBSOCKETS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
             'port' => env('LARAVEL_WEBSOCKETS_PORT', 6001),
             'scheme' => 'http',
         ],
     ],
     

4. Use Environment Variables:
- Leverage environment variables to configure the WebSocket port and other related settings, making it easier to manage different environments.

5. Secure the WebSocket Port:
- Consider using a secure port (e.g., 443 for HTTPS) for your WebSocket connections and configure SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt the communication.

6. Use a Reverse Proxy:
- Utilize a reverse proxy like NGINX to handle the WebSocket connections and provide additional security and load-balancing features.

7. Monitor WebSocket Connections:
- Regularly monitor the WebSocket connections to ensure they are functioning correctly and secure.

8. Keep Dependencies Up-to-Date:
- Ensure that your Docker images and dependencies, including the WebSocket server, are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates.

By following these best practices and configurations, you can ensure that your WebSocket ports are properly exposed and secured within your Docker Compose setup.
