# immers
ActivityPub server for immers.space - a decentralized virtual reality metaverse platform powered by Mozilla Hubs and activitypub-express.
## Installation
We provide a [Docker Hub image](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/immersspace/immers) for immers,
and the [immers-app repo](https://github.com/immers-space/immers-app) contains
docker-compose configuration, configuration script, and deploy instructions.
If you prefer to run immers without docker, it can be deployed just like
any other NodeJS & MongoDB app.

## Local dev
immers
* Clone and install immers
```
git clone https://github.com/immers-space/immers.git
cd immers
npm ci
```
* Install a self-signed certificate
```
mkdir certs
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout certs/server.key -out certs/server.cert
```
* Install [mongodb](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/)
* Run immer with `npm run dev`
hubs
* Clone and install our fork
```
git clone https://github.com/immers-space/hubs.git
cd hubs
git checkout immers-integration
npm ci
npm run build:client
```
* Run hub with either `npm run dev` (use Hubs dev networking servers) or `npm run start` (to connect to your hubs cloud networking server).
* Visit you immer at `https://localhost:8081`, approve the certificate exception, get automatically forwarded to your hub at `https://localhost:8080`, approve another certificate exception, create a room, and you will be redirected to login or register with your immer.
Default immers server is `https://localhost:8081`, override with entry `IMMERS_SERVER` in hubs repo root folder `.env` file.
If working on immers server web client, run both `npm run dev:client` and `npm run dev` at the same time.
