Mumble server

Background

We do use Discord for communication between the Wiki Aventurica team members, but since there might be people who do not trust Discord, we have installed a Mumble server on our web server, reachable through mumble.wiki-aventurica.de, see Hilfe:Mumble.

This page contains instructions for web server administrators on how to install a mumble server.

Instructions

• install Mumble: apt install mumble-server
• configure Mumble: dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
  • You will have to enter the password for the SuperUser. Make sure to safe this password, you will need it later.
  • This configuration should be saved to /etc/default/mumble-server; if not, creating an empty file with this name should be sufficient too.
• configure Mumble some more: nano /etc/mumble/mumble-server.ini
  • cheatsheet for nano commands: nano-editor.org; you could obviously also use any other editor, like vi for example.
  • The following lines should probably be customized:

welcometext="<your message>"

serverpassword=<password for entering the server>

bandwidth=230000

users=100

channelnestinglimit=2

channelcountlimit=100

bonjour=false

;The following only makes sense if there is no server password:
registerName=
registerPassword=
registerUrl=
registerHostname=
registerLocation=

;If these are empty, an self-signed certificate will be used.
sslCert=
sslKey=
sslCA=

• restart Mumble server:systemctl restart mumble-server.service
• check Mumble server status:systemctl status mumble-server.service
• If the server is running, if is possible to connect to it via the Mumble client, see Hilfe:Mumble.
• In order to give your own account admin privileges, follow these instructions (you'll need the SuperUser password): Sich selbst zum Admin machen
