I want to test receiving events broadcasted from my laravel app via laravel-websockets. The app and websockets are running successfully in docker and I have supervisor keeping everything up and running. My problem is, with Postman's websocket feature, I cannot connect to the websockets server running within docker (ws://127.0.0.1:6001). I get 404.
docker-compose.yml
version: '2'

Create a raw ws connection to your websocket instance:
ws://localhost:6001/app/abcdef
abcdef is the PUSHER_APP_KEY which should match what's in your .env file. If your port is something other than 6001, change it in the URL.
Once connected, you may compose a message within Postman to subscribe to your channel:
{
"event":"pusher:subscribe",
"data":{
"auth":"",
"channel":"your-channel-name-here"
}
}
That's it! As messages are broadcast from the server, they'll appear in the messages page at the bottom of the screen.
