Deploying Soketi on Forge

@UpFlat Certainly, I did change from using port 80/443 to using 6001/6002 though I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as long as your .env is right.

Websocket server nginx config:

# Custom Nginx Template (5035)

# FORGE CONFIG (DO NOT REMOVE!)
include forge-conf/socket.example.com/before/*;

server {
    listen 6002 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:6002 ssl http2;
    server_name socket.example.com;
    server_tokens off;
    root /home/forge/socket.example.com/;

    # FORGE SSL (DO NOT REMOVE!)
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/socket.example.com/1431865/server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/socket.example.com/1431865/server.key;

    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;

    }

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/socket.example.com-error.log error;
}

# FORGE CONFIG (DO NOT REMOVE!)
include forge-conf/socket.example.com/after/*;

supervisor deamon setup: Make sure stopwaitsecs is set to 60 I had a problem where I had multiple instances of the websockets running at the same time causing issues of messages sometimes not getting broadcasted.

import Pusher from 'pusher-js';
import Echo     from 'laravel-echo';

window.Pusher = Pusher;

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: import.meta.env.VITE_PUSHER_APP_KEY, // this is different for mix
    wsHost: import.meta.env.VITE_PUSHER_HOST,
    wsPort: import.meta.env.VITE_PUSHER_PORT,

});

I think that's about it

@ChristianPav thank you very much. It's working now. Only change I had to make (besides your configs) is to open port 6002 instead of 6001 under Networks in Forge.
