# Soketi Websockets

Soketi is a self-hosted alternative to Pusher, offering cost-effectiveness and greater control. To configure Soketi:

1. Change the `Websockets driver` to Soketi in the admin panel.
2. Add your configured `Host`, `Port`, `App ID`, `App Key`, and `App Secret`.
3. If your Soketi instance uses TLS, enable the `Use TLS for Soketi` toggle in the admin panel and set the port to `443`.

**Note:** Ensure your Soketi server is running and accessible. Proper configuration is essential for reliable performance.
