How to do proper websocket proxying?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

I recently started migrating chat to my server, which runs on sockets. I ran into a problem that the ws:// protocol does not work on https://. Googled, the answer was the same: "We need to make a proxy." In this case, I do not understand anything at all, so ....
This socket server is working: ws://194.58.121.250:7777
I tried to make a proxy, but nothing came out at all. This is what I wrote in the apache2.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:*>
  ProxyPreserveHost On	
  ProxyPass /websocket ws://194.58.121.250:7777
  ProxyPassReverse /websocket ws://194.58.121.250:7777
</VirtualHost>

Hope someone can help :)

Answer 1

Proxy is not required.
It is enough to listen to wss i.e. attach a domain certificate to the socket server ssl.
And how to do this, you can read in the dock of the module that you use for the socket server.

Answer 2

http > ws
https > wss
