Realtime - self hosted websocket for instant updates

reckrrr

I must say I spent WAY TOO LONG trying to figure out why my realtime server wouldn't connect.. then I realised Cloudflare blocks all ports other than web ports!

Version 0.3.3 introduces a bug where if you run realtime:serve with an already running websocket does not end the command and therefore scheduled tasks remain open. This worked with 0.3.2 - tested by reverting back. I use this to regularly start the socket via a scheduled task - where in most cases the websocket is already running.

Also I think there is a new rachetphp version 1.0.6 fixing the above mentioned issue - not requiring the fixed version introduced in 0.3.3.

Since I'm using aaPanel openlitespeed server, it doesn't support reverse proxy.

I'm using cloudflare tunnel, how do I set up websocket through it to make realtime work with it?

I will really appreciate a detailed guide.

Using the following config:

'websocket' => [
    'server-host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'server-port' => 6001,
    'js-client-host' => 'warezbook.org',
    'js-client-port' => null,
    'js-client-secure' => true,
    'php-client-host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'php-client-port' => 6001,
    'php-client-secure' => false,
    'php-client-timeout' => 3,
    'max-connections' => 1000,
],

Is it possible to run realtime (& redis?) on an external server to what hosts my forum

luceos

reckrrr if the realtime daemon has the same codebase and re-uses the same database and redis instance, then yes that should be possible. On the Managed Flarum communities we run the daemon in its isolated pod.

reckrrr

luceos the daemon runs a php flarum command which isn’t available unless it was on a flarum server; how would I go about this

luceos

reckrrr put your flarum install in a repository and install that on both servers, the web and daemon node.

For a total noob, can I just...
Pay one time > update composer settings > install using composer > enable and be done to use default settings?
Or do I need to do more?

luceos

KBExit nope. You will always need to set up a daemon that runs the websocket server.

luceos Like this? http://websocketd.com/

KBExit the original post explains the basics of what you need to set the websocket server

reckrrr maybe I'm stupid... I don't see where it's mentioned. I just see a general statement that something is required.

luceos Realtime contains a service you will need to install on your hosting environment, similar to the database service (MySQL) or web service (Apache, Nginx). As such you need your own virtual machine, droplet or an environment that allows you to configure scripts to run continuously. In addition, you will need to run a queue, we highly recommend the redis queue in combination with realtime.

luceos

KBExit the service mentioned in your post needs to be configured on your server to run permanently, this is called demonizing. The service is included in the extension.

reckrrr

KBExit there’s a bunch of help in this thread too which helped me install
