ActivityPub server for the metaverse
npm install immersActivityPub server for immers.space - a decentralized virtual reality metaverse platform powered by Mozilla Hubs and activitypub-express.
We provide a Docker Hub image for immers,
and the immers-app repo contains
docker-compose configuration, configuration script, and deploy instructions.

any other NodeJS & MongoDB app.
