# Octane / High-perf mode

In **v1.3.0**, we integrated DocKing with [Laravel Octane](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/octane)  - a high PHP performance runner.

{% hint style="info" %}
In short, it is like how we run "php artisan queue:work" or "node index.js". The application will be loaded into the memory, one-time bootstrap in startup,...
{% endhint %}

### Requirement

* [RoadRunner](https://roadrunner.dev/) 

### Usage

To run DocKing in Octane mode, you need to run this command:

```
php artisan octane:start
```

{% hint style="success" %}
If you haven't installed RoadRunner, Laravel will ask your permission to automatically download the latest binary inside the root project folder, then run.
{% endhint %}

### Production

To keep the command running for production usage, there are multiple ways to do so. We suggest using `supervisor` to manage so that we can keep 2 things under 1 basket: queue & octane.

Basic configuration:

```
[program:docking-octane]
command=php /var/www/html/artisan octane:start --max-requests=500
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s_stderr.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=10MB
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s_stdout.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=10MB
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
```

And then just hit these commands and you are good to go:

```
sudo supervisorctl reread
sudo supervisorctl update
sudo supervisorctl start docking-octane:*
```

Also it is recommended to use `nginx` as the `reverse proxy` to serve the application, check out this for the sample `nginx.conf` virtualhost file:
