I am currently running a website written with Flask on a LAMP server. I used mod_wsgi to connect the Flask app with Apache, and all is running well. However, I recently discovered websockets and would like to use them in my website. There is a Flask extension for websockets, but I was told Apache does not support websockets and that I could not use it.
I was introduced to Socket.IO running on nodejs at school, and I would like to try it out for my website (rewrite my website using nodejs). My question is how do I run the nodejs app from my local server as I did with my Flask app? I have searched Google, and people are recommending using Apache or Nginx, but will they support websockets? Thank you.
