'''CollabVM Server 2.0''' was an open source server and complete rewrite of the 1.x core which was 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 in the form of ExperimentalVM, before replacing the original 1.x software for a short amount of time. CollabVM Server 2.0 runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and BSD.
 
As of 2023, CollabVM Server 2.0 is considered abandoned and obsolete and has been replaced with [[CollabVM Server 1.x (TypeScript)]].
'''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 currently runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and BSD, but binaries must be built manually on the latter two.

==New Features==
*Account registrations / username reservations.

*Memory leaks
*Did I mention 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).
 
*Your UserVMs can now be put in the CollabVM homepage.
== Known issues ==
There were multiple problems with the CollabVM Server 2.0 software, which include, but were not limited to:
* Direct crash exploits (except much worse and more annoying to deal with than 1.x)
* Memory leaking, resulting in server crashes
* Internal practices resulting in a rushed release
 
==Automated builds==
Another new feature of collab-vm-server 2.0 is that it now has automated builds, meaning that collab-vm-server 2.0 binaries will be automatically built so you don't have to compile it yourself. You can download automated builds of collab-vm-server 2.0 from the following locations:
 
*[https://github.com/Cosmic-Sans/collab-vm-server/releases GithubGitHub releases] (recommended)
 
==Minimum Requirements==
