## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to expose a Soketi socket server through a domain by configuring an Nginx reverse proxy on Laravel Forge. It covers creating an Nginx template, applying it to a new site, enabling SSL, and updating the site configuration.

## Source excerpt

In Part I of this tutorial we learnt how to install and deploy Soketi to our Laravel Forge servers. Currently, Soketi is accessible over our server's IP address, behind port 6001. In this post we're going to modify our setup so that we can access our socket server via socket.my-domain.com. We'll do this by using an Nginx reverse proxy.
