What is the best way to serve Laravel Octane on default ports (80 and 443)

[malyutki]

Like in question, what is the best way to serve Laravel Octane od default http and https ports?

Currently I'm using FrankenPHP worker and custom index.php, but I would like to know what is the best way?
Maybe reverse_proxy? If so I would ask for a sample code because I wasn't able to create one that was working correctly :(

As always in engineering: it depends.

If you're wanting to terminate SSL (via letsencrypt), and have http3 support and it is directly connected to the internet, you can use the SERVER_NAME environment variable to set the hostname (assuming you're using the default configuration). You'll need to make sure port 80/tcp, 443/tcp, and 443/udp are open.

If you are not terminating SSL or using a load balancer, you'd just use :80 (or whatever port) and have the load balancer connect there.

There isn't a "one size fits all" answer.

In this case I'd choose first option. By deafult laravel octane is working on port 8000. How to serve port 80 and 443?
I see 2 options:

1. setting up ports:

    ports:
        - "80:8000" # HTTP
        - "443:8000" # HTTPS
        - "443:8000/udp" # HTTP/3
   

not sure if it is a correct way

2. Setting up custom Caddyfile, I failed here and couldn't write a correct one.

If you want to serve https (443), you need to terminate SSL. If you just want to use self-signed certificates, you can do that by setting SERVER_NAME to https://localhost and then forwarding those ports. You'll also need to configure your APP_URL (IIRC).

env:
  SERVER_NAME: https://localhost
ports:
  - 80:80
  - 443:443
  - 443/udp:443/udp

That should "just work" but I'm not 100% familiar with octane or laravel.
