To successfully configure Nginx for Laravel Reverb WebSockets, follow these steps:
1. Set up a subdomain for your Reverb server. For example, create a subdomain called "reverb.example.com".[1]
2. Configure Nginx to proxy requests from the subdomain to the Reverb server's IP and port. Assuming the Reverb server's default IP is 0.0.0.0 and port is 8080, configure the proxy settings to forward requests from reverb.example.com to 0.0.0.080.[1]
3. Update your Laravel Echo configuration to use the newly created subdomain reverb.example.com and the default HTTP port 80.[1]
4. In your Laravel application's configuration file (.env), specify the Reverb host as "localhost" and the Reverb port as 8080.[1]
5. Configure Nginx to handle WebSocket connections by adding a location block for the "/ws/" path. Proxy these requests to the Reverb server running on 127.0.0.180.[3][5]
6. Ensure that the Nginx configuration includes the necessary SSL/TLS settings, such as the SSL certificate and key paths, to enable HTTPS for the Reverb WebSocket connections.[3][5]
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully configure Nginx to work with Laravel Reverb WebSockets in a production environment.[2][3][5]
