[2] Create a sample chat apprication which WebSocket and SSL/TLS are implemented to verify working.
For SSL certificate on this example, it uses the one from Let's enctypt.
If Firewalld is running, allow port the apprication uses. (it's [1337] on this example)
[rocky@dlp ~]$
npm install fs socket.io express
[rocky@dlp ~]$
vi chat.js
var fs = require('fs');
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

var opts = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/privkey.pem').toString(),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/fullchain.pem').toString(),
};

var http = require('https').Server(opts, app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http, opts);

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function(socket){
  socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
    io.emit('chat message', msg);
  });
});

http.listen(1337, function(){
  console.log('listening on *:1337');
