Reverb & Homestead

[xlcrr]

I am trying to migrate from laravel-websockets on Laravel 8 to Laravel 11 with Reverb

Locally I have always used Homestead as my development environment

Previously I had to run php artisan websockets:serve --host=192.168.56.4 --port=6001 to get the websockets server running with pusher-js and echo

Starting reverb with the default settings will stop the console errors in the frontend but I'm not seeing any of the events that im dispatching via tinker & horizon

php artisan reverb:start --debug 

INFO  Starting server on 0.0.0.0:8080 (localhost).  

Any advice for how to set up homestead would be appreciated

As is the magic of these things, once I posted this question something started working

I can see debug messages for the first time but empty payloads

Solution soon!

   INFO  Starting server on 0.0.0.0:8080 (localhost).

Update: This blog post helped me figure it out

I did not need change any of the default params when starting reverb
