**Realtime for your Flarum forum — one paste, done.** `flarum-warble` connects your forum to [Warble](https://linkrobins.com/warble), a hosted realtime service built for Flarum: live discussions, typing indicators, and presence over WebSockets, without running your own socket server or wrestling with Pusher clusters and message caps.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require linkrobins/flarum-warble
```

`flarum/realtime` is installed automatically as a dependency. Then enable **Realtime** and **Warble** in your admin panel.

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Warble is a thin **companion to `flarum/realtime`** — realtime does all the work (live discussions, typing, presence); Warble just points it at the managed Warble websocket service so you never run a websocket daemon or edit any config.

1. `composer require linkrobins/flarum-warble`, then enable **Realtime** and **Warble** in the admin panel.
2. Paste your Warble **key** (from your linkrobins.com dashboard → Warble) into the one field on the Warble settings page.
3. Done. Warble exchanges the key for your connection config and writes flarum/realtime's `websocket` block into your forum's `config.php`(`js-client`, `php-client`, `app-key`/`secret`) — pointed at `wss://warble-{you}.linkrobins.com`. **The connection is handled for you** — no hosts, ports, or keys to configure.

Realtime's own feature settings stay yours: typing indicators, discussion-list typing dots, list update interval, notification toast duration, and the "view who is typing" permission. We encourage you to open the Realtime settings page and tune those to fit your forum — Warble never touches them.

Leave the key blank to disconnect. Outgrow the managed service? No lock-in: flarum/realtime ships its own websocket daemon (`php flarum realtime:serve`) — disconnect Warble and run the stock daemon on your own server any time.

> **Requirement:** your forum's `config.php` must be writable by the web server (it is on a standard Flarum install). Warble writes the connection there because that's where flarum/realtime reads it — the change takes effect immediately, no restart. If `config.php` is locked down, Warble tells you in the settings page.

Why Warble over raw Pusher
--------------------------

[](#why-warble-over-raw-pusher)

- **Flat, predictable pricing** — from $49/**year** (Pusher's entry is $49/**month**), unlimited messages.
- **Flarum-native** — no Pusher account, no cluster config; one key.
- **Outgrow it? No lock-in.** `flarum/realtime` bundles its own websocket daemon — disconnect Warble and run `php flarum realtime:serve` on your own server; your forum keeps every realtime feature.

Licensing
---------

[](#licensing)

This extension is MIT-licensed and free. **Warble itself is a hosted service by Link Robins** — it is not a self-hostable product; see . If you'd rather self-host realtime, you don't need Warble at all: that's just `flarum/realtime` in its stock form, running its own bundled daemon.
