4 years ago It works but u have to know how to apply an env file. The file will not auto apply the content to the system variables by just sitting at the file system.
Most people use a docker image and apply the env file to the running container. This is done by the docker engine.
An other method is to run a command via script or manual.
U can use source command to eval the contents of a file.
Ohw and if I'm not mistaking: the environment variables will only be used if no laravel-echo-server.json file is present on the system. If its present it does not regenerate the config.

After the working directory is set, only laravel-echo-server.json files can be loaded, .env files under the same directory cannot be loaded. So the config options in the laravel-echo-server.json file cannot be overwritten by the .env file.
in working directory(/var/www/my-website)
.env LARAVEL_ECHO_SERVER_AUTH_HOST=http://localhost LARAVEL_ECHO_SERVER_PORT=6001 LARAVEL_ECHO_SERVER_DEBUG=true
laravel-echo-server.json { "authHost": "http://api-dev", "authEndpoint": "/broadcasting/auth", "devMode": false }
Execute in non working directory $ cd /home $ laravel-echo-server start --dir=/var/www/my-website
The following information is displayed L A R A V E L E C H O S E R V E R
version 1.6.1 ✔ Running at localhost on port 6001 ✔ Channels are ready. ✔ Listening for http events... ✔ Listening for redis events...
Server ready!
Execute in working directory $ cd /var/www/my-website $ laravel-echo-server start or $ laravel-echo-server start --dir=/var/www/my-website
The following information is displayed L A R A V E L E C H O S E R V E R

version 1.6.1 ✔ Running at localhost on port 6001 ✔ Channels are ready. ✔ Listening for http events... ✔ Listening for redis events...

Obviously, the . env file doesn't work
