What to use to replace laravel web sockets?
The project is essentially dead on GitHub with tons of open issues, PRs and no new commits. The latest version is 1.4.something
I am looking for open source alternatives, that can be self hosted and either require some glue, or work out of the box with laravel. Ideally these are well maintained OS projects, not ones that are dead or nearing death.
I know there is pusher, but I am not looking for a paid solution, looking for a free solution that ideally replaces pusher like laravel websockets did.
I depended on laravel websockets for my pbbg, it now I need to move on from it. What are you currently using to replace the paid pusher service? Is there any good node options?
Is it, in your experienced opinion, harder to roll your own?
Thanks in advance.

@berukmano Looking at both githubs i would then say, laravel-websockets and soketi are equally "dead" on github. So i am curious how you think about both soketi and laravel-websockets now and if, and if so why, you went with a different approach/technology. As i am myself also looking for the best open source pusher alternative for a project I am working on and everybody on the internet shouts something different.

After looking further for some while, a lot of other developers share the opinion and expierence of laravel-websockets having a lot of issues. Most of these people also recommend using Soketi as it is functioning better.
