CollabVM1.2.ts

This is a drop-in replacement for the dying CollabVM 1.2.11.

Compatibility

The CollabVM server is officially supported on modern Linux distributions, using latest NodeJS LTS and Rust

We do not support running directly on Microsoft Windows. If you want to run CollabVM on Windows, we recommend using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. We will close any issues related to running the server directly on windows.

Dependencies

The CollabVM server requires the following to be installed on your server:

1. Node.js (obviously)
2. QEMU (Unless you just want to use a VNC Connection as your VM)
3. A Rust toolchain (e.g: rustup)
4. NASM assembler
