Websocket Server?

I'm running the latest Xenforo with centminmod in CentOS 7.

---

There's an add-on using real-time thing that requires Websocket server installed.

So I followed its instruction for installing Websocket server in the same server as Xenforo.

Instructions here: https://devsell.io/xenforo-websocke...t-server.html#install-soketi-on-a-same-server

"Open your domain configuration file. Paste the following code to the bottom and save it
"

Code (Text):

server {
    # Comment if using an ssl certificate.
    listen 2096 http2;
    listen [::]:2096 http2;
 
    # Uncomment if using an ssl certificate.
    # listen 2096 ssl http2;
    # listen [::]:2096 ssl http2;
 
    server_name your_domain.com;
    server_tokens off;
    root /path/to/your/forum;
    index index.php;

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
 
    # Uncomment if using an ssl certificate.
    # ssl         on;
    # ssl_certificate      /path/to/your/certificate.pem;
    # ssl_certificate_key  /path/to/your/certificate.key;

    charset utf-8;

    location / {
        proxy_pass             http://127.0.0.1:6001;
        proxy_read_timeout     60;
        proxy_connect_timeout  60;
        proxy_redirect         off;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

What should I edit here? The forum is https, but is this one SSL too?

Code (Text):

[root@beta]# ls /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mysite.com/
mysite.com.crt  mysite.com.csr  mysite.com.key  dhparam.pem

 

I've been following the instructions but couldn't get it done successfully.

Is there a tutorial for installing Websockets server in CentOS 7 with centminmod?

 

Yes I got this added to nginx.conf.

What about SSL? My web server is running on SSL. Do I need to change anything regarding SSL in the code above? If yes, what's the cert? the example refers to a pem file. But should I use the mysite.com.crt file instead? The following is the SSL files I got for my site:

Code (Text):

[root@beta]# ls /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mysite.com/
mysite.com.crt  mysite.com.csr  mysite.com.key  dhparam.pem

Code (Text):

* - changed

server {
   # Comment if using an ssl certificate.
*   # listen 2096 http2;         # commented out
*   # listen [::]:2096 http2;  # commented out

   # Uncomment if using an ssl certificate.
*   listen 2096 ssl http2;  # uncommented
*   listen [::]:2096 ssl http2; # uncommented

*   server_name mysite.com;  # changed to mysite.com
   server_tokens off;
*   root /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public/;  #changed to my path
   index index.php;

   add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
   add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
   add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

   # Uncomment if using an ssl certificate.
*  ssl         on;   # uncommented
*  ssl_certificate     /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mysite.com/mysite.com.crt;  # uncommented. changed to actually file path
* ssl_certificate_key  /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mysite.com/mysite.com.key; # uncommented. changed to actually file path

   charset utf-8;

# Have no idea what I should do with the following part.

   location / {
       proxy_pass             http://127.0.0.1:6001;
       proxy_read_timeout     60;
       proxy_connect_timeout  60;
       proxy_redirect         off;

       proxy_http_version 1.1;
       proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
       proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
   }
}

 

What about the rest of codes above? His Websockets add-on requires port 2096. I asked him about the installation but didn't explain clearly what I should do. $40 for assisted installation.
