'''CollabVM Server 2.0''' is an open source server that, as the name suggests, powers CollabVM, its variants, and some of its mirrors (although most remain on CollabVM 1.x). CollabVM 2.0.0 was released on February 17, 2020.
'''CollabVM Server 2.0''' is an open source server and complete rewrite of the 1.x core which is intended to be a proper replacement to the former [[CollabVM Server 1.x]], but was discontinued after four months due to rushed development, creative burn-out and 4 years of broken promises and procrastination. It used to power CollabVM.


CollabVM Server 2.0 currently runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and BSD, but binaries must be built manually on the latter two.

CollabVM Server 2.0 is an open source server and complete rewrite of the 1.x core which is intended to be a proper replacement to the former CollabVM Server 1.x, but was discontinued after four months due to rushed development, creative burn-out and 4 years of broken promises and procrastination. It used to power CollabVM.

CollabVM Server 2.0 currently runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and BSD, but binaries must be built manually on the latter two.

Sections

New Features

  • Bugs, crash exploits, malpractices and memory leaks
  • Account registrations / username reservations.
  • Audio support.
  • Official Windows 7/Server 2008 R2+ support (experimental support available in 1.2 as well).
  • RDP and VNC support (RDP support is for VirtualBox, other software will likely work fine).
  • Support for QEMU, VMWare, and VirtualBox. Anything with VNC/RDP support will work (even real machines).

Automated builds

    • Linux and Windows: At least 512 MB of free RAM on the server (Recommended: at least 2GB)
  • Processor:
    • Any mid/late-2000s processor (Recommended: Any modern CPU) or newer. AMD-V/VT-x is recommended (not required).
  • Space: At least 200 MB for collab-vm-server (5-10 GB of free space for VMs)

Operating Systems

BSD

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

  • Will build, but the required dependencies must be compiled or installed manually as vcpkg does not support these operating systems.

Linux

Any Linux distro running at least Linux Kernel 2.6.x will run collab-vm-server 2. So instead this page will list the minimum versions it will run on, and the minimum version you will need for support from the Developer team if you run into any problems.

Arch Linux

  • Requires at least Arch Linux 0.6 at minimum. Any modern Arch Linux install with all packages updated is recommended. An Arch Linux version from at least January 2020 is needed for full support.

  • Requires at least CentOS 4 at minimum. CentOS 8 is recommended. CentOS 6 or newer is required for full support.

Debian

  • Requires at least Debian 3.1 at minimum. Debian 10 is recommended. Debian 8 or newer is required for full support.

Ubuntu

  • Requires at least Ubuntu 4.10 at minimum. Ubuntu 18.04 is recommended. Ubuntu 16.04 or newer is required for full support.

Windows

  • Requires at least Windows XP SP2, or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 at minimum. Windows 10 Version 1909, or Windows Server 2019 build 17763 is recommended. At least Windows 7 SP1/Server 2008 R2 or newer is required for full support.
