Hocuspocus
WebSocket backend for Yjs documents that syncs changes between clients in real time, from the team behind Tiptap.
tiptap.dev/docs/hocuspocus/introductionrepositorydocs
Hocuspocus is a WebSocket backend for collaborative documents, and its docs say it is based on Y.js. The server package, @hocuspocus/server, is installed with npm, as the upgrade guide shows, and it runs on Node.js, Bun and Deno. The server listens on a configurable port and address, and a SQLite extension ships for persistence.
The project is maintained by Tiptap GmbH in Berlin. Redis is an optional dependency for scaling across several nodes, and the vendor also offers a hosted version named Tiptap Collab.
