Laravel Reverb in Production

[amypo-tech]

I have created a sample laravel 11 project and in which I have configured all the requirements for the laravel reverb.

In local machine/setup reverb is working fine. when I deployed in production server for testing I am getting the bellow error.

• Defined SSL cert and ket path correctly
• port 8080 is not blocked which can be accessed from any machine
• tried with and without https for reverb hosting server
• tried with localhost as reverb host

None of the above helped me. Kindly help me on this.

In Env
..

REVERB_APP_KEY=xypigyotzowvifsmqzuw

In config/reverb.php

'options' => [
            'tls' => [
           ],
],

In the project nginx server config
..

location /app {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header SERVER_PORT $server_port;
        proxy_set_header REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";

        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8080;
}

It is working for me.

[Freddywhest]

For Apache server try the below

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/app
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://0.0.0.0:8080/$1 [P]

    <Proxy http://0.0.0.0:8080>
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPassReverse /
        ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /app
    </Proxy>
</IfModule>

[webmid]

Where should we put this code? In vhost.conf?
I tried but still I receive connection failed in client. this is my env var:

`
BROADCAST_CONNECTION=reverb
REVERB_APP_ID=xxxx
REVERB_APP_KEY=xxxx
REVERB_APP_SECRET=xxxx
REVERB_HOST="mydomain.de"
REVERB_PORT=443
REVERB_SCHEME=https
REVERB_SERVER_PORT=8080

VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY="${REVERB_APP_KEY}"
VITE_REVERB_HOST="${REVERB_HOST}"
VITE_REVERB_PORT="${REVERB_PORT}"
VITE_REVERB_SCHEME="${REVERB_SCHEME}"
`
I'm using Apache and ssl

Thanks

[Ivan3008]

thank you! it works

[repositoriomaster]

It is working to me.
add location /app {...
TKU!

[Kenneth-Inkum]

You're a lifesaver. Such simple solution.

[amypo-tech]

I have the same type of issue. nothing was helpful.

implementing web-sockets in production is like finding water in mars.

All the possible ways i have tried.

1. all the possible .env configurations
2. nginx reverse proxy configuration
3. config/reverb.php config changes with and without certs and different ports

if some one gives a proper setup or guide from start to end would help for production.

in local it took only few minutes to implement. this is the same thing happened before launch of reverb. waiting nearly 6 months to implement in production

I am having the exact same issue even with using Laravel Forge which should be working out of the box because it should configure everything you need.
But I am stuck and have no idea how to solve that.

There seems to be non working example on Laravel Reverb using Laravel Forge and the documentation is not very detailed on that point.

Would be great to get some help and some working examples.

EDIT:
I deactivated and activated Laravel Reverb in die Laravel Forge Application Panel and restarted nginx and it is working now. Maybe the nginx config for the reverse proxy was not set correctly or nginx was not reloaded automatically.

The working configuration in my .env. file:

REVERB_APP_ID=***
REVERB_APP_KEY=***
REVERB_APP_SECRET=***
REVERB_HOST=127.0.0.1
REVERB_PORT=8080
REVERB_SCHEME=http

VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY="${REVERB_APP_KEY}"
VITE_REVERB_HOST=ws.domain.tld
VITE_REVERB_PORT=443
VITE_REVERB_SCHEME=https

I came across to this issue when I needed to setup reverb on VPS for myself.
After about 1 day digging into it I made it working on my machine and decide to come back to this and share it.
Here is what makes if working in my case.

Add the following server tag in your nginx configuration file.

server {
  listen 8081 ssl;
  listen [::]:8081 ssl;
  server_name yourserver.name;
  {{ssl_certificate_key}}
  {{ssl_certificate}}

    location / {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header SERVER_PORT $server_port;
        proxy_set_header REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
    }
}

This is my .env

REVERB_APP_ID=*****
REVERB_APP_KEY=*****
REVERB_APP_SECRET=*****
REVERB_HOST="yourserver.name"
REVERB_PORT=8081
REVERB_SERVER_PORT=8082
REVERB_SCHEME=https

In my case port 8080 was used by another process and I started reverb on port 8082 and I am listening on nginx at port 8081 which passes the socket connection to reverb.

[Update]

Also, Make sure that incoming port 8080 or 8081 (whichever you decided to connect to) is opened.

Check if it is opened

sudo ufw status verbose

Open port 8080

sudo ufw allow 8080

[mjohnson10111]

this is what fixed it for me, opening the port

[krzysztofengineer]

Here's my working configuration for Laravel Forge:

REVERB_APP_KEY=APP-KEY
REVERB_APP_SECRET=APP-SECRET
REVERB_HOST=127.0.0.1
REVERB_PORT=8080
REVERB_SCHEME=http

VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY="${REVERB_APP_KEY}"
VITE_REVERB_HOST=ws.DOMAIN.LTD
VITE_REVERB_PORT=443
VITE_REVERB_SCHEME=https

[krzysztofengineer]

maybe not related to this thread, but if someone has a similar issue: if your websockets connection is working but you're still not broadcasting events from the server, make sure your queue is running (or change the QUEUE_CONNECTION to sync). It's not clear that ShouldBroadcast interface uses queues under the hood

[mjohnson10111]

i am running forge - oddly, i didnt have to edit the nginx files

##env
REVERB_APP_ID=XXXX
REVERB_APP_KEY=XXXX
REVERB_APP_SECRET=XXXX
REVERB_HOST=127.0.0.1
REVERB_PORT=8080
REVERB_SCHEME=http

VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY="${REVERB_APP_KEY}"
VITE_REVERB_HOST=ws.XXX.com
VITE_REVERB_PORT=443
VITE_REVERB_SCHEME=https

##CHECK PORTS ARE OPEN
sudo ufw status verbose

##OPEN THEM IF NOT
sudo ufw allow 8080

In my case everything seems to be fine in the production server.

running Nginx in port 9000

default.conf

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name websockets.amypo.com;

    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/websockets.amypo.com/privkey.pem;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/websockets.amypo.com/fullchain.pem;


    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    # Reverse proxy configuration for /app
    location /app {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000; 
      
    }
