I am using Nginx on top of the Flask-SocketIO app on the server-side. I want to receive data from that server to my nodes in Node-RED using sockets. I am new at Node-RED so, I want suggestions on what should I use for this? When would the data be received from the server, I want to pass it to other nodes as well.  
here is my Nginx (which is running in a docker container) Configuration.

```auto
upstream vsoTS_http_nodes{
    server vsots:8084;
}
upstream vsoTSS_socketio_nodes{
    ip_hash;
    server vsots:8084;
}

server {
    
    listen 80;
    server_name _;

    location /vsoTS {
        proxy_pass http://vsoTS_http_nodes;
    }

    location /vsoTS/socket.io {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_buffering off;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
        proxy_pass http://vsoTSS_socketio_nodes/socket.io;
    }
}

```

In the above code, `vsoTS` is actually the name of another docker container that contains the Flask-SocketIO app and exposing the port `8084`.
