+from https://evergreen-ils.org/opensrf-downloads/
Developers working directly with the source code from the Git repository,
rather than an official release tarball, must install some extra packages
1. Stop ejabberd before making any changes to its configuration by issuing the
following command as the *root* Linux account:

+.(Ubuntu Trusty / Xenial)
[source, bash]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
sh /usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/setup-instance websockets
a2dismod websocket
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
-5. Copy into place the config files
+5. Change to the directory into which you unpacked OpenSRF, then copy into
+ place the config files
+
-.(Debian / Ubuntu Precise)
+.(Debian)
[source, bash]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+cd /path/to/opensrf-OSRFVERSION
cp examples/apache2/websockets/apache2.conf /etc/apache2-websockets/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
/etc/init.d/apache2-websockets start
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Optional: Using NGINX as a proxy
+--------------------------------
+NGINX can be used to proxy HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSockets traffic. Among other
+reasons, this can be useful for Evergreen setups that want to have both
+HTTPS and secure WebSockets traffic both go through port 443 while using
+two Apache instances (one for the WebSockets gateway and one for the more
+memory-intensive TPAC pages).
+
+The following instructions are a guide for setting this up on Debian
+and Ubuntu systems, but expect general familiarity with various system
+administration and network tasks. The steps should be run as the *root*
+Linux account, and assume that you already followed the instructions
+for installing WebSockets support.
+
+1. Install NGINX if not already present:
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+apt-get install nginx
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+2. Configure the main Apache instance to listen on port 7080 for HTTP and
+ port 7443 for HTTPS and ensure that it is not listening on ports 80
+ and 443, then restart Apache.
+3. Copy the example NGINX configuration file into place.
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+cd /path/to/opensrf-OSRFVERSION
+cp examples/nginx/osrf-ws-http-proxy /etc/nginx/sites-available/
+ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/osrf-ws-http-proxy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/osrf-ws-http-proxy
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+4. Edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/osrf-ws-http-proxy` to set the location
+ of the SSL certificate and private key.
+5. Start NGINX
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+/etc/init.d/nginx start
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+6. Edit `<PREFIX>/javascript/opensrf_ws.js` and `<PREFIX>/javascript/opensrf_ws_shared.js`
+ and change
++
+[source, javascript]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+var WEBSOCKET_PORT_SSL = 7682;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+to
++
+[source, javascript]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+var WEBSOCKET_PORT_SSL = 443;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Optional: Using HAProxy as a proxy
+----------------------------------
+HAProxy can also be used to proxy HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSockets traffic
+as an alternative to NGINX.
+
+The following instructions are a guide for setting this up on Debian
+and Ubuntu systems, but expect general familiarity with various system
+administration and network tasks. The steps should be run as the *root*
+Linux account, and assume that you already followed the instructions
+for installing WebSockets support.
+
+1. Install HAProxy if not already present:
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+apt-get install haproxy
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+2. Configure the main Apache instance to listen on port 7080 for HTTP and
+ port 7443 for HTTPS and ensure that it is not listening on ports 80
+ and 443, then restart Apache.
+3. Append the example HAProxy to `haproxy.cfg`.
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+cd /path/to/opensrf-OSRFVERSION
+cat examples/haproxy/osrf-ws-http-proxy >> /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+4. Edit `/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg` to set the location
+ of the PEM file containing the SSL certificate and private key.
+5. Start HAProxy.
++
+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+/etc/init.d/haproxy start
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+6. Edit `<PREFIX>/javascript/opensrf_ws.js` and `<PREFIX>/javascript/opensrf_ws_shared.js`
+ and change
++
+[source, javascript]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+var WEBSOCKET_PORT_SSL = 7682;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+to
++
+[source, javascript]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+var WEBSOCKET_PORT_SSL = 443;
