A multitenant ActivityPub server for Ghost, built with Fedify. This service makes it possible for independent websites to publish their content directly to the Fediverse, enabling networked publishing to the open social web.
This repository is being actively developed and is currently in early alpha - expect many breaking changes. It is not suitable for production use.

All requests to /.ghost/activitypub/* and /.well-known/webfinger are proxied to this ActivityPub service using NGINX. All other requests are forwarded to Ghost.
