Websocket server in Elixir or phoenix
I’m trying to make a websocket server in Phoenix or raw Elixir. I heard about gun, I think I could use cowboy, but since I’m not that smart I thought I’d go as high level as possible.
I found this thread:
and this one:
and forked his code to:
https://github.com/SatoriNetwork/phx_raws
I as I was bringing it up to date I ran into this issue:
Phoenix.Socket.Transport.connect/6 is undefined or private. Did you mean:
* connect_info/3ElixirCall to missing or unexported function ‘Elixir.Phoenix.Socket.Transport’:connect/6ElixirLS Dialyzer
on this line:
case Transport.connect(endpoint, handler, transport, __MODULE__, nil, conn.params) do
so after consulting the docs, which I don’t understand I came up with this, which I;m sure is wildly incorrect as well:
case Transport.connect(
%{:endpoint=>endpoint, :transport=>transport, :params=>conn.params, :options=>[
handler: handler, __MODULE__: __MODULE__, serializer: nil]}) do
But it told me I shouldn’t use this function anyway:
Phoenix.Socket.Transport.connect/1 is undefined or private. Did you mean:
* connect_info/3ElixirCall to missing or unexported function ‘Elixir.Phoenix.Socket.Transport’:connect/1ElixirLS Dialyzer
I think the code is almost updated, but what do I have to do to get it to a working state?

There is a simpler API in Phoenix for custom websockets, you can follow the example here:
ruslandoga
![]()
Using cowboy might be easier than you think. Here’s a small example of how it could be done. The important bits are the plug child spec and the module implementing cowboy_websocket behaviour. You can ignore the Web.UserSocket and “pubsub” specifics.

Figured out this part
socket("/", RelayWeb.Sockets.EchoSocket, websocket: [path: ""])
