New page

[https://www.mumble.info/ Mumble] is an open source, cross platform, low-latency, high quality voice over IP (VoIP) voice-chat program. It uses a client/server architecture and is primarily used by gamers, but can be used for any VoIP purpose:-
* {{Pkg|mumble}} (lowercase) is the client.
* {{Pkg|mumble-server}} is the server component. It was previously called [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble#mumble---open-source-voice-chat-software murmur] and still retains that package name and service name in Alpine Linux v3.21 and earlier.

== Installation ==
First of all, we need '''mumble-server'''. Its dependencies will be pulled in automatically, including {{Pkg|mumble-server-openrc}} on Alpine Linux installations where OpenRC has been conserved as the init system.

{{Cmd|$ doas apk add mumble-server}}

{{Note|
* On Alpine Linux 3.22 and above, installing '''murmur''' will install '''mumble-server''' thanks to the {{ic|Provides: murmur}} directive of {{Pkg|mumble-server}}, thus providing backward compatibility for the ''packages''.
* Thanks to the {{Pkg|murmur-compat}} subpackage of {{Pkg|mumble-server}} on Alpine Linux v3.22 and above, references to '''murmur''' there are recognized as '''mumble-server''' (via a symlink from {{Path|/etc/init.d/murmur}} pointing to {{Path|/etc/init.d/mumble-server}}), thus providing backward compatibility for the ''services''.}}

=== Setting up SSL certificates ===
If you already have used Certbot to set up certificates in your web server, then you can easily make a new certificate for a subdomain 'mumble' and add the cert paths to the {{Path|murmur.ini}} configuration file. You can use nano or vim, etc., to edit the file manually.
{{Cmd|$ doas nano /etc/murmur.ini}}
It should look something like this.
{{Cat|/etc/murmur.ini|<nowiki>
sslCert=/etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/fullchain.pem
sslKey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/privkey.pem
</nowiki>
}}

== Running as a service ==

=== Configuration ===
Make sure that the following line is present in your {{Path|murmur.ini}}:
{{Cat|/etc/murmur.ini|<nowiki>
pidfile=/var/run/murmur/murmur.pid
</nowiki>
}}
This will allow OpenRC to track the status of the process.

=== Starting up the service ===
Start the '''mumble-server''' service.
{{Cmd|$ doas rc-service mumble-server start}}
You can add the '''mumble-server''' service to the default runlevel:
{{Cmd|$ doas rc-update add mumble-server default}}
In case at one point you don't want '''mumble-server''' to be on the default runlevel, rollback with this command:
{{Cmd|$ doas rc-update delete mumble-server default}}
