Topic for help to understand how broadcasting with Redis and Socket.IO works

Laravel echo server

Install

npm install -g laravel-echo-server

Initialize config file (from backend folder)

laravel-echo-server init

You can see that the laravel-echo-server.json file has been created. You don't need to change the default settings.

Please note: if your project is running not on http://localhost you need to set your host in Laravel .env file in LARAVEL_ECHO_SERVER_AUTH_HOST variable

Ex. LARAVEL_ECHO_SERVER_AUTH_HOST=http://topspizza.test

Run server

pm2 start echosystem.config.js --only=laravelEcho

QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
