+# Enabling WebSockets in ssb-room
+
+To run an ssb-room which this can connect to, you will need to enable WebSockets support.  This requires three things:
+
+1. In ssb-room's config.js, add a line to `connections` to configure the WebSockets port (external, key, and cert need to be customized for your installation):
+```
+  connections: {
+    incoming: {
+      net: [{ port: 8888, host: "0.0.0.0", scope: "public", transform: "shs" }],
+      ws: [{ port: 9999, host: "::", scope: "public", transform: "shs", external: ["example.com"], http: true }],
+      // Or, to use secure WebSockets:
+      // ws: [{ port: 9999, host: "::", scope: "public", transform: "shs", external: ["example.com"], key: "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem", cert: "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem" }],
+    },
+    outgoing: {
+      net: [{transform: 'shs'}],
+    },
+  },
+```
+2. Run either `npm install -g ssb-ws` to install the WebSockets connector globally, or cd into the ssb-room directory and `npm install ssb-ws`
+3. In index.js, add the following line to the SecretStack section just below `ssb-logging`:
+```
+  .use(require('ssb-ws'))
+```
+
+After that, your ssb-room will be compatible with ssb-browser-demo.
