WebSockets using Apache Reverse Proxy

This post will cover how to configure our already running server [1, 2] to proxy websocket connections to a backend of our choice. We will continue using Vagrant to provision the guest machine.

Step 1

Clone or download a simple websocket server into our vagrantfolder (and extract if an archive).

Step 2

Modify 001-mysite.conf to include our websocket redirect.

Swap Apache default site

This post builds on top of this post where we set up reverse proxy in Apache to redirect traffic to a backend of our choice. In this guide we will swap out the default apache site on port 80 with our proxy server. We edit 001-mysite.conf to use port 80 and forward all paths to our backend.

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ProxyPass "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
 ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
</VirtualHost>

Reverse Proxy with Apache and Vagrant

This guide will describe how to set up a reverse proxy in Apache that can redirect traffic to a backend of our choice. For this guide we will be using Vagrant as our development environment. This guide will cover topics such as:

• How to set up an Apache server using Vagrant
• How to configure reverse proxy for Apache

First step is to set up an Apache server using Vagrant. More on how to use Vagrant can be found in the docs.

1. This assumes an SSH keypair exists, usually in ~/.ssh (windows C:\Users\<username>\.ssh)

2. This assumes a git repository exists, otherwise create one as usual `git init`

3. Create a Repository on GitHub

4. Add SSH key to GitHub

5. Add the remote origin from gthub

In the boot method of app\Providers\AuthServiceProvider.php

Auth::provider('wpdriver', function ($app, array $config) {
    return new WPUserProvider($app['hash'], $config['model']);
});

In config\auth.php modify providers with

# Windows 7 Memory and Space tricks

## Clear space on C drive by disabling 'Hibernation'

have a look at the `Hiberfil.sys`-file at the root of C. This will be huge and can be up to the amount of ram in the system (8gb RAM -> <8gb occupied disk space)

To disable Hibernation (A **Warning** is due, I guess) enter `powercfg -h off` and this will delete the file immediately. To enable hibernation again `powercfg -h on`.
