Release date

First release: July 28, 2015 (1.1.0)

Latest release: March 16, 2021 (1.2.11)
Successor CollabVM Server 2.0

The CollabVM Server (collab-vm-server), latest version 1.2.11, is the current version of CollabVM Server. It is an open source server that currently powers CollabVM, the Virus Farm, and most mirrors of CollabVM. It can be considered the "heart" of CollabVM.

Currently, the server runs on Linux, BSD, and Windows-based operating systems. It is known to work on Debian, Ubuntu Server and Desktop, as well as the Red Hat (CentOS), openSUSE and Arch Linux line of Linux distributions. Version 1.2.8 adds support for FreeBSD and Windows XP and up. It should also work on Android (using Termux), MacOS, Haiku, GNU/Hurd, and ReactOS. Version 1.2.9 readds a cut feature (admin username colors), a crashing vulnerability fix and improvements against automated attacks. Version 1.2.10 completely turns the CollabVM core back on its head with a whole slew of new admin abuse features, core bugfixes, improvements and et cetera. Version 1.2.11 replaces some core libraries, and maybe some bugfixes here and there. Make sure to stay tuned for 3.0's release!

Or alternatively, you can grab automatically built versions of CollabVM Server 1.x here:

Minimum Requirements

  • RAM:
    • Linux: 128 MB of free RAM on the server (Recommended: 2 GB of free RAM)
    • Windows: 32 MB of free RAM on the server (Recommended: 2 GB of free RAM)
  • Processor:
    • Any modern CPU of any architecture should work. VT-X is recommended (not required).
  • Space: 40 MB for collab-vm-server (Recommended: 4 GB of free space, for VMs and such)
  • QEMU:
    • QEMU 0.10 (Recommended: At least QEMU 5.0 or whatever's the latest version)

Operating systems

Linux

collab-vm-server 1.2.11 will run on any distribution, as long as it is running Linux kernel version 2.6 or above. If your distro version was released after 2006, you are absolutely running something beyond this version.

Arch Linux

Use whatever's the latest version.

CentOS

Requires at least CentOS 2.1. CentOS 7 or above is required for any support.

Debian

Requires at least Debian 3.1. Debian 8 or above is required for support.

Fedora

Requires at least Fedora 2. Fedora 30 or above is required for support.

Gentoo

Use whatever's the latest version.

Linux Mint

Requires at least Linux Mint version 1.

Slackware

Requires Slackware 12.0 to run. 13.37 or above is required for full technical support.

Ubuntu

Runs on every Ubuntu version from 4.10 to 20.10. At least 14.04 is required for technical support.

BSD

FreeBSD

  • Use FreeBSD 12 or above.

NetBSD

  • Use NetBSD 9.1 or 8.2. Older versions may have problems. 1.2.11 without any source code modifications will throw an error on QEMUController.cpp

Haiku

  • collab-vm-server <1.2.11 runs on the latest nightly build of Haiku, but it is rather difficult to build and very unstable. Some libraries need to be compiled and linked manually.

Solaris

OpenIndiana/Oracle Solaris

  • collab-vm-server <1.2.11 should be possible to compile and run on OpenIndiana and Oracle Solaris. I'm not sure what the oldest version that would work is so it's probably safe to use the latest version.

Windows

  • Currently the oldest Windows version known to run CollabVM Server is Windows NT 4. There is currently an experimental Windows port that requires Windows Vista SP2 and above, compiled from MSYS2. There also exists a Cygwin package which will run on Windows XP SP2, but the versions for XP require the IPv6 stack to be installed. Windows 7 or 10 is recommended.
  • collab-vm-server can be compiled and run on MSYS2, which is what the current experimental Windows port is compiled with. This requires Windows Vista SP2 or above.
  • collab-vm-server can be compiled and run on Visual Studio 2017, which requires Windows XP SP2 or above and the Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2015 runtimes installed.
  • collab-vm-server can be compiled and run on Cygwin, which requires Windows Vista SP2 or above, although its also possible to compile it on older versions, the oldest of which runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP6. The public Cygwin build needs Windows XP SP2 or higher.
  • collab-vm-server can also run on the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which is included in Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019.

ReactOS/Wine

  • ReactOS: Use the Cygwin collab-vm-server package. Use 0.4.13 or the latest debug build for the best results.
  • Wine: Not sure what the minimum version is but it will at least run on the Wine provided in Ubuntu 18.04.

MacOS

  • collab-vm-server should be possible to compile and run on MacOS. I'm not sure what the oldest version that would work is, so it's probably safer to use the latest MacOS.
