A PHP library for asynchronously serving WebSockets. Build up your application through simple interfaces and re-use your application without changing any of its code just by combining different components.
We're currently aiming to revive Ratchet to get it up to date with the latest versions and use this as a starting point for bigger updates to come. We need your help to achieve this goal, see ticket #1054 for ways to help out. ❤️
Shell access is required and root access is recommended. To avoid proxy/firewall blockage it's recommended WebSockets are requested on port 80 or 443 (SSL), which requires root access. In order to do this, along with your sync web stack, you can either use a reverse proxy or two separate machines. You can find more details in the server conf docs.
User and API documentation is available on Ratchet's website: https://socketo.me
See https://github.com/cboden/Ratchet-examples for some out-of-the-box working demos using Ratchet.
