I’ve scratched my head for hours and finally I was able to set it up and make it running.

So my tech stack was .NET Core app for API on docker, SignalR for socket and Apache as a reverse proxy. Everything was working without Reverse Proxy and SSL.

As soon as I’ve setup SSL and reverse proxy, websockets stopped working. So here below is a VirtualHost configuration that I’ve used to forward normal and websockets requests to respective host.

Check the virtualhost code below:

Hope this will help. Enjoy!!!
