Murmur is the server component for Mumble. This article is meant to give you the necessary information to configure and run your own server.
  
By default, murmur is configured to run from a regular user account, and on Windows and OSX this is the only way it works. However, on distributions with prepackaged murmur (Debian/Ubuntu), murmur is configured to run as a sytem service, just like your webserver, mailserver and whatever else you've got running. This "global" installation is a ready, turn-key solution, most of the information here does not apply to you. Most packages also include the 'murmur-user-wrapper' script, which does all of the below for you if you want to run as a regular user (including starting DBus).

== DBus on Linux/OSX ==
+
In version >=1.2.4 the SuperUser password is generated automatically on the first server start. You can find it in the logfile. Search for an entry like <code><W>2013-09-03 11:23:44.516 1 => Password for 'SuperUser' set to 'supersecretpassword'</code>. You can of course change this password.
  
For full functionality, murmur requires a DBus daemon. We need an isolated daemon, different from the one running under, say, a X11 session, so we specifically spawn our own. The following small shell script will ensure a deamon is ready (copied from ''murmur-user-wrapper''):
+
To set/change the password on the Linux static server, run
 +
murmur.x86 -ini <path to configuration file> -supw <password> [srv]
 +
To set the password on Debian-based systems, run
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
#! /bin/bash
+
# EITHER use the dpkg management facilities
DIR=$HOME/murmur
+
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
DBUSFILE=$DIR/.dbus.sh
+
 
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=invalid:/
+
# OR run the server binary manually
[ -f $DBUSFILE ] && . $DBUSFILE
+
sudo -i murmurd -ini /etc/mumble-server.ini -supw <password> [srv]
if ! dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call / org.freedesktop.DBus.GetId 2> /dev/null > /dev/null; then
 
  echo "Launching D-Bus session"
 
  dbus-launch --sh-syntax > $DBUSFILE
 
  . $DBUSFILE
 
  if ! dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call / org.freedesktop.DBus.GetId 2> /dev/null > /dev/null; then
 
    echo "Failed to launch session DBUS, bailing out."
 
  fi
 
fi
 
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
Before running this for the first time, make sure ~/murmur exists
+
To set the password on Windows systems, run
  mkdir $HOME/murmur
+
  <path to murmur.exe> -ini <path to configuration file> -supw <password> [srv]
  
And to use it
+
Make sure the <tt>-ini</tt> parameter is the same as for running the server normally to make sure the password gets set in the right database file. If the command does not seem to work, double-check that you are supplying the right path.
source <pathtoscript>
 
  
You should always source this script before starting murmur, and you also need to run it before using any DBus commands.
+
The <tt>[srv]</tt> parameter is the ID of the virtual Mumble-Server you want to change password for. If omitted, ID 1 is used (for the first virtual server).
  
== Running the daemon ==
+
This will only set the password and then terminate, it will not start the server. To run the server, start it without the <tt>-supw</tt> parameter.

== Compatibility With RPC-Interfaces ==
  
== Server configuration ==
+
For full functionality with an RPC interface, Murmur requires either a working [[DBus]] daemon or [[Ice]] installation that is enabled. We recommend using the [[Ice]] interface; [[DBus]] is considered deprecated and although it will not be removed in the near future, it is not receiving any new functionality. Once you have Murmur working with the RPC interface, you can install a compatible web interface; see below for possible options.
  
Each virtual server has it's server-specific configuration. If a particular confiuration item is empty, it will fall back to the default configuration, which is specified in the ini file.
+
== Authenticating With an External Database/Forum ==
  
Listing the configuration:

== User management ==
+
===DBus===
  
If you can run CGI scripts from your user account, the murmur.pl script contains user self-management. Just copy it to your webserver and make it executable (you might need to rename it to murmur.cgi), and it should contain everything needed. If not, this is what you'll need:
+
There is an extended example of how to use the authenticator called ''scripts/dbusauth.pl''. You'll need to configure where your phpBB3 database resides, but once that is done you'll simply have to run the script after starting murmur to allow authentication to be done through the phpBB3 database.
  
Adding a new registration:
+
Any group associations the user has on phpBB3 is copied to a temporary group on a root channel (and by default inherited to all subchannels). Please note that this is a temporary group membership and as such will not show up in the Edit ACL dialogs.

If you are not able to use an additional application for administrating Murmur there is still the possibility of manually communicating with the server using [[DBus]]. You can find detailed information on this in our [[DBus|DBus article]].
  
<userid> is also a digit number such as 4 or 30, depending on how many people are registered in the database. For instance when you run

you will see after you run this command "int32" and some other text. There will be a number to the right of "int32". This number is the user's UserID.
 
 
 
 
 
So for instance you want to register a user, that user's name was ''Name'', his password was ''passwrd'', and you have one server running.
 
 
 
On Linux you would run
 
  dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur --type=method_call /1 net.sourceforge.mumble.Murmur.registerPlayer string:"Name"
 
You will then see some text. In it you will see "int32". Let's say you already had 5 users registered^. The number next to "int32" in the terminal would be 6. Remember this number.
 
 
 
Now run
 
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur --type=method_call /1 net.sourceforge.mumble.Murmur.setRegistration int32:6 string:"Name" string:"<user's email address>" string:"passwrd"
 
 
 
On Windows you would run
 
"C:\Program Files\Mumble\dbus-send.exe" --print-reply --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur --type=method_call /1 net.sourceforge.mumble.Murmur.registerPlayer string:"Name"
 
You will then see some text. In it you will see "int32". Let's say you already had 5 users registered^. The number next to "int32" in the command prompt would be 6. Remember this number.
 
 
 
Now run
 
"C:\Program Files\Mumble\dbus-send.exe" --print-reply --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur --type=method_call /1 net.sourceforge.mumble.Murmur.setRegistration int32:6 string:"Name" string:"<user's email address>" string:"passwrd"
 
 
 
You now have a registered user. "Name" can now login with the username ''Name'' and the password ''passwrd''.
 
 
 
If you want to change Name's registration, do the following command: (let's change Name's name to "Unnamed" and his password to "nopasswrd")
 
 
 
For Linux do
 
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.murmur --type=method_call /1 net.sourceforge.mumble.Murmur.setRegistration int32:6 string:"Unnamed" string:"<user's email address>" string:"nopasswrd"

Introduction

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
For a step-by-step guide to setting up a Murmur server, read Murmur Guide.

Murmur is the server component for Mumble. This article is meant to give you the necessary information to configure and run your own server.

Distribution-Specific Murmur

By default, Murmur is configured to run from a regular user account, and on Windows and OSX this is the only way it works.

However, on distributions with prepackaged Murmur (Debian/Ubuntu), Murmur is configured to run as a system service, just like your webserver, mailserver and whatever else you have running. This "global" installation is a ready, turn-key solution, most of the information here does not apply to you. Most packages also include the 'murmur-user-wrapper' script, which does all of the below for you if you want to run as a regular user (including starting DBus).

So, on these systems, you can still run Murmur manually, but you will then not benefit from the extensive care that has gone into preparing those packages.

If you need to register users externally, or change the settings of a virtual server, read the section on Advanced Configuration.

Basic Configuration

Settings, Ports, and Authentication

The default settings for a Murmur server are configured in murmur.ini. Here, you can configure the welcome text, port number and other settings. However, these are just default settings and can be overwritten via the Ice RPC without changing the .ini; if you're running multiple virtual servers, each virtual server has its own configuration, which is maintained internally by Murmur (see below).

The default port for a Murmur server is UDP and TCP 64738.
Have a look at Mumble URL to see how to publish links to your server, and SRV Record configuration.

Adding an authenticated user can be done through various means. Unless you need automated registration of users or authentication against an external database using the functionality built into the client is the easiest method. If you need more control you can use Ice or DBus.

Setting the SuperUser Password

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
Note this command can be run seperately while the server is running to change the password without restarting. Also note that in 1.2.2 at least, you must run the server normally at least once before trying to set this.
Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
For older versions the SuperUser account is disabled until you setup the password. You don't need the SuperUser account to run a simple server, but you do need it if you want to give your regular user account any privileges.

In version >=1.2.4 the SuperUser password is generated automatically on the first server start. You can find it in the logfile. Search for an entry like <W>2013-09-03 11:23:44.516 1 => Password for 'SuperUser' set to 'supersecretpassword'. You can of course change this password.

To set/change the password on the Linux static server, run

murmur.x86 -ini <path to configuration file> -supw <password> [srv]

To set the password on Debian-based systems, run

 # EITHER use the dpkg management facilities
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server

 # OR run the server binary manually
 sudo -i murmurd -ini /etc/mumble-server.ini -supw <password> [srv]

To set the password on Windows systems, run

<path to murmur.exe> -ini <path to configuration file> -supw <password> [srv]

Make sure the -ini parameter is the same as for running the server normally to make sure the password gets set in the right database file. If the command does not seem to work, double-check that you are supplying the right path.

The [srv] parameter is the ID of the virtual Mumble-Server you want to change password for. If omitted, ID 1 is used (for the first virtual server).

This will only set the password and then terminate, it will not start the server. To run the server, start it without the -supw parameter.

Starting Murmur

To start Murmur,

On a static Linux build, cd to the directory where you extracted the files and do

murmur.x86

On Debian-based,

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server

On Windows,

<path to murmur.exe> (usually C:\Program Files\Mumble\Murmur.exe)

For debugging or real time logging, you might want to add -fg -v to the command line, which will stop the program from running in the background.

By default, Murmur opens its configuration file, database file and logfile in your current directory. The configuration file can be overridden with the -ini parameter, and the database and logfile can be set from the ini file, using their respective parameters.

Advanced Configuration and Administration

To make use of a strong server certificate the users will not have to manually accept, please see Obtaining a Let's Encrypt Murmur Certificate and Obtaining a Comodo Murmur certificate.

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
Most of these interfaces are created and maintained by third parties and the Mumble developers have no influence on the stability and/or security of these projects. Also, nearly all of the basic administration tasks can be completed through the client when using > Mumble 1.2.x.

Compatibility With RPC-Interfaces

For full functionality with an RPC interface, Murmur requires either a working DBus daemon or Ice installation that is enabled. We recommend using the Ice interface; DBus is considered deprecated and although it will not be removed in the near future, it is not receiving any new functionality. Once you have Murmur working with the RPC interface, you can install a compatible web interface; see below for possible options.

Authenticating With an External Database/Forum

Ice

For phpBB3, there is phpBB3auth. You must point the python script to the ini file; read the in-source documentation for more infomation.

For SMF (Simple Machines Forum), there is smfauth. You must point the python script to the ini file; read the in-source documentation for more infomation.

DBus

There is an extended example of how to use the authenticator called scripts/dbusauth.pl. You'll need to configure where your phpBB3 database resides, but once that is done you'll simply have to run the script after starting murmur to allow authentication to be done through the phpBB3 database.

Any group associations the user has on phpBB3 is copied to a temporary group on a root channel (and by default inherited to all subchannels). Please note that this is a temporary group membership and as such will not show up in the Edit ACL dialogs.

3rd Party Applications

If you are planning to administrate your Murmur server with an external 3rd Party Application, see the following pages for further information.

Note:
The aforementioned categories have been moved to the page 3rd Party Applications.

Manual Configuration Using DBus

If you are not able to use an additional application for administrating Murmur there is still the possibility of manually communicating with the server using DBus. You can find detailed information on this in our DBus article.

Alternative Murmur Implementations

The Mumble team appreciates and supports the implementation of the Mumble protocol. Unlike other proprietary applications, everyone is free to implement their own Mumble server software and add it to this list.

uMurmur

uMurmur is a minimalistic Murmur implementation without dependency on QT-core. It lacks features of Murmur but aims at working well on embedded devices like routers.

It supports 1.2.x Mumble clients in the uMurmur 0.2.x releases and 1.1.x clients in 0.1.x releases. Packages are available for OpenWRT, Freetz and Synology.
