When using node.js import syntax I am getting the following error:

file:///app/node_modules/acebase/dist/esm/ipc/index.js:23
            target.addListener(event, handler);
                   ^

I have disabled usage of the generated ESM modules for now, updating acebase-server will also update your acebase package and fix this issue.
