Please improve config documentation for server.hmr.server

Clear and concise description of the problem

In https://vitejs.dev/config/#server-hmr it is said:

When using server.middlewareMode or server.https, assigning server.hmr.server to your HTTP(S) server will process HMR connection requests through your server. This can be helpful when using self-signed certificates or when you want to expose Vite over a network on a single port.

But it’s unclear and nowhere else described what “assigning server.hmr.server to your HTTP(S) server” would look like in the actual config file.

Suggested solution

Please add a code snippet of the actual final configuration:

server: {
    host: true,
    port: 8015,
    https: true,    
    hmr:{
         server: what are the options and syntax here?
    }
  }
}

Ok, then I will stick with webpack and suggest to anybody I know to do the same due to rude and careless vite community.

@Tech-Nomad I’m sorry you felt that your suggestion wasn’t taken into account, but the fact that two maintainers took the time to read through your issue and evaluate if the docs should be extended or not should show you that it isn’t the case. As they explained already, the Vite documentation can’t contain an explanation for all possible use cases. We need to work with other communities so they include sections about Vite for example to be able to scale. Closing this issue now as I don’t think this discussion is constructive. You are free to use other tools if they work better for you.
