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.

Linux ships with a useful command called `du` (Disk Usage), which is used to find the size of files and directories. When provisioning your server, Forge installs `ncdu` which is an advanced version of `du` that allows you to easily navigate your directories via an ncurses interface. This makes it much quicker to identify large files and directories.
