node socket.js not working with https

What's your server side javascript (nodejs) code look like?

server

var server = require('http').Server();
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var Redis = require('ioredis');
var redis = new Redis();

redis.subscribe('app1-channel');

redis.on('message', function(channel, message) {
    message = JSON.parse(message);
    io.emit(channel + ':' + message.event, message.data);
});

server.listen(3000);

view

var socket = io.connect( '//'+window.location.hostname+':3000');

it's working if use http, but not working if i use https on my site

You need to require('https') and pass in your certificate keys and such.

Since https is not currently supported by your node server as implemented, it's not going to work when loading the page with https.

i update my server, and when i run node socket.js i got this error message

server

var https = require('https'),     
    fs =    require('fs');        

var options = {
    key:    fs.readFileSync('/etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.key'),
    cert:   fs.readFileSync('/etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.crt')
};

var server = https.createServer(options);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var Redis = require('ioredis');
var redis = new Redis();

redis.subscribe('app1-channel');

redis.on('message', function(channel, message) {
    message = JSON.parse(message);
    io.emit(channel + ':' + message.event, message.data);
    console.log(channel + ':' + message.event);
});

server.listen(3000);

error message

fs.js:584
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

i check permission

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   53 Feb 18 16:21 server.crt -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   51 Feb 18 16:21 server.key -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem

@wowrudy did you sort this out yet? I'm interested in this as well

@StormShadow no, i still stuck at this

update : it's because file is owned by root, and i use user 'forge' i tried sudo node socket.js and working. but how to run this server without sudo ? because i want to run this with daemon using forge.laravel.com

Change keyfile owner:

sudo chown forge /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.key
sudo chown forge /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.crt

Also ensure that the directories in that path are readable by the forge user.

@willvincent it is not working on my forge.server I have done this sudo chown forge /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.key sudo chown forge /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com/12345/server.crt

Please respond thanks. Ive been working this for 2 days.

@wowrudy Can you post your final code on this? Thanks.

any update on this?
