README

A self-managed fork of beyondcode/laravel-websockets (abandoned upstream), modernized for Laravel 11 / 12 / 13 and PHP 8.2+. Provides a self-hosted, Pusher-protocol WebSocket server so the application does not depend on a third-party realtime provider.

Namespace: Olakunlevpn\LaravelWebSockets.

Why this fork

Upstream beyondcode/laravel-websockets was archived in 2024 and capped at Laravel 10 / Symfony 6. This fork:

• widens illuminate/* to ^11|^12|^13 and Symfony components to ^7|^8
• swaps the abandoned facade/ignition-contracts for spatie/ignition
• depends on olakunlevpn/ratchet (our Symfony-7/8 constraint fork of Ratchet)

Installation

Consumed via a Composer path repository:

{
    "repositories": [
        { "type": "path", "url": "Packages/laravel-websockets", "options": { "symlink": true } },
        { "type": "path", "url": "Packages/ratchet", "options": { "symlink": true } }
    ],
    "require": {
        "olakunlevpn/laravel-websockets": "@dev"
    }
}

The service provider auto-registers via Laravel package discovery. Run the server with php artisan websockets:serve.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11 / 12 / 13
