This should work with newer Debian based distros too (such as Ubuntu 20.04 or 21.10)
This page documents how to build CollabVM Server 1.2.11 on Debian 11 and later, I have not been able to build the server on Debian 10 or earlier.
Step 1: Install packages
You will need to install some packages before you continue.
sudo apt install git clang make
Breaking it down:
sudo - Run this command as root
apt install - We are telling the package manager to install these packages.
git - The git CLI tool.
clang - The compiler.
make - The thing that actually makes the server.
Step 2: Cloning the repository
Run this command:
git clone https://github.com/computernewb/collab-vm-server --branch release/1.2.11 --recursive
This will clone the repository onto your computer.
Step 3: Grabbing dependencies
Before you run make or anything like that, you need to grab libraries that CollabVM server needs for a successful build.
cd into the cloned repository and then into the scripts folder, Run ./grab_deps_linux.sh and it will apt install all the packages for you.
Step 4: Building the server
cd to the root of the cloned repository, for me its ~/longhorn/collab-vm-server
Run the following command
make JPEG=1
and wait for the build.
You might see a few warnings, however this is normal. Once the build is done, cd into bin and type ./collab-vm-server 6004
Open your web browser and go to localhost:6004, if it gives you an error about the site not sending you any data its normal because 1.2.11 does not have a webserver. You will need a webserver like nginx to host the webapp!
