# Starting the WebSocket server
|
|
|
|
Once you have configured your WebSocket apps and Pusher settings, you can start the Laravel WebSocket server by issuing the artisan command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan websockets:serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using a different port
|
|
|
|
The default port of the Laravel WebSocket server is `6001`. You may pass a different port to the command using the `--port` option.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan websockets:serve --port=3030
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start listening on port `3030`.
|
|
|
|
## Restricting the listening host
|
|
|
|
By default, the Laravel WebSocket server will listen on `0.0.0.0` and will allow incoming connections from all networks. If you want to restrict this, you can start the server with a `--host` option, followed by an IP.
|
|
|
|
For example, by using `127.0.0.1`, you will only allow WebSocket connections from localhost.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan websockets:serve --host=127.0.0.1
|
|
```
