I already have a fresh DigitalOcean droplet ready for you and will hand over the full SDK and documentation for the RFID readers we use for attendance. Your job is to stand up a WebSocket environment that accepts both plain WS and secure WSS connections, each on two custom ports (four ports total, none of them the usual 8080 or 443). One reader will connect over WS, the second over WSS, so both paths must be proved functional. What has to be in place: • A public IP and domain bound to the droplet, with a valid TLS certificate so the WSS path is trusted. • A running WebSocket service that listens concurrently on the four specified ports and reliably forwards traffic to the SDK libraries. • A lightweight PHP page that lets me see live device status, connection logs, and captured user-attendance data in real time (all readily accessible through the SDK). • Clear notes or scripts for any packages installed, firewall changes, and start-up routines so I can re-deploy the stack if needed. Acceptance test: I will plug in two RFID readers—one pointing to the WS endpoint, the other to the WSS endpoint—watch them appear on the PHP dashboard, verify data flows, and review the logs. Once both devices communicate without drops or certificate warnings, the proof of concept is complete and we can move on to the next phase.

Setting up a multi-port WebSocket server with both WS and WSS paths for RFID reader communication is right in my wheelhouse — I've configured similar real-time device-to-server setups before. I'll stand up the WebSocket service using Ratchet (PHP-based, pairs naturally with your dashboard requirement) or Node.js with ws library, listening concurrently on your four custom ports, with Nginx handling TLS termination via Let's Encrypt for the WSS paths. The PHP dashboard will display live device status, connection logs, and attendance data in real time by subscribing to the WebSocket feeds. I'll bind your domain, configure UFW firewall rules for the custom ports, and document every package, cert renewal cron, and startup script for easy redeployment. Ready to start as soon as you share droplet access and the SDK docs.

Hi, Four concurrent ports, none of them 8080 or 443 — that's a deliberate choice, probably to sidestep firewall blocks on shared networks. Makes sense for RFID over a public droplet. I'll set up the WebSocket server to handle plain WS and WSS simultaneously, bind the domain, and get a valid TLS cert in place. The PHP dashboard pulling live status and attendance logs from the SDK is straightforward once the socket layer is stable. I'll document every package, firewall rule, and startup command so you can re-deploy without hunting through terminal history. Done this kind of Linux server + WebSocket + PHP integration before. Happy to walk through the SDK docs you'd share and confirm the approach before starting. When can you hand over the droplet access?

Hi, you need a reliable bridge between RFID devices and your server environment so attendance data flows continuously without connection or certificate issues. The key detail is supporting both custom-port WS and WSS connections at the same time while exposing live device activity through a simple dashboard, and I’ve worked with web integrations and automated workflows where real-time data movement between systems was critical. I’ll configure the DigitalOcean stack, secure the WSS endpoint with TLS, build the WebSocket service around the SDK communication layer, and create the PHP dashboard for live status, logs, and attendance data visibility. I’ll also document the deployment steps, firewall rules, and service routines so the setup can be reproduced easily. Does the RFID SDK already provide WebSocket-ready methods, or does the service need to translate the reader protocol into WebSocket messages? Best regards, Fizza Nadeem K

Hi — Multi-port WebSocket setup with concurrent WS and WSS paths is straightforward when the TLS and firewall config is done in the right order — SSL cert bound to the domain before the WSS listener starts, UFW rules opened for all four custom ports, and the service configured to handle both protocols without port conflicts. I'll handle the full setup on your DigitalOcean droplet: domain DNS bound to the droplet IP, Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for trusted WSS, Node.js WebSocket service listening concurrently on all four custom ports (WS + WSS paths), integrated with your RFID SDK libraries per the documentation you'll share. PHP dashboard showing live device status, connection logs, and attendance data pulled through the SDK in real time. Startup scripts, package install notes, and firewall change documentation so you can redeploy the stack independently. Acceptance test is clean — two RFID readers connecting simultaneously, data flowing on both paths, no certificate warnings, logs verified. That's a binary pass/fail I'm comfortable committing to. Topics 12 and 49 are regular work — DigitalOcean, Ubuntu, Nginx, SSL/TLS configuration, PHP backends. Can you share the RFID SDK documentation now so I can confirm the integration approach before we start? Regards Sakshi G
