# Other services

> Services that are neither an application nor a database, such as WebSocket or the secret manager.

Source: https://docs.fransys.cloud/en/projets/autres-services/ Checked against the console on 2026-10-23.

## Where to find them

In the project, click **Add a service**, then **Other service types**. The list depends on your account: the console only shows the types available to you.

On the diagram, these services sit in the **Real time** and **Data and secrets** columns.

## WebSocket

A WebSocket server (Soketi), compatible with the Pusher protocol, for live notifications, chat, or dashboards that update themselves.

Add it, then link it to your application: the application receives the connection variables (host, app ID, key and secret). A Laravel application, for example, can then broadcast its events with the Pusher driver, to your own server.

## Secret manager

A secrets vault, to link to the services that need it. For simple secrets (an API key, a password), a protected variable is enough: see [Variables and secrets](https://docs.fransys.cloud/en/projets/variables-et-secrets/).

## Standalone service

A service that runs on its own, without being linked to your code. You configure it like an application, in its panel.

## An image that isn't in the list

Anything that runs in a Docker container can be added as an [Application](https://docs.fransys.cloud/en/projets/application/): n8n, Metabase, Ollama, an internal tool… Enter its image and its port.
