'''CollabVM 3.0''', or '''collab-vm-server 3.0''', or '''[https://github.com/computernewb/collab3 Collab3]''', is an upcoming release of the CollabVM server that will replace [[CollabVM Server 1.x|1.2.11]] and [[CollabVM Server 2.0|2.0]]. On January 8th, 2022, a pre-release of 3.0 was uploaded to GitHub.
'''CollabVM 3.0''' is an upcoming release of the CollabVM server that will replace [[CollabVM_Server_1.x_(TypeScript)|CollabVM-TS]].

The server is being written in C# using .NET Core 8.0 (LTS). It uses ASP.NET Core as the webserver for the API and WebSocket protocol. It also uses a database (currently only MySQL-compatible) to store VM configuration, bans, and user data.

The webapp is written in TypeScript and is bundled with Parcel.


CollabVM 3 is currently in closed development and the source code is not publicly available.
The initial release, 3.0.0, is planned to be a remake of CollabVM Server 1.2.11 with (mostly) the same features, with new features built on this codebase and added into later versions.
