Murmur

Murmur is the server component of Mumble, an open-source, low-latency, high-quality voice chat application primarily intended for gaming.

Note: Unlike most Bytesized apps, Murmur is installed system-wide rather than through /opt/. This means it is not selectable via the dashboard installer.

Tips and tricks

Changing the welcome message

Edit the configuration file at ~/.config/murmur/mumble-server.ini directly via SSH or download it via FTP (make sure hidden files are enabled).

Find the welcometext line and change the message between the quotes to whatever you like:

welcometext="<br />Welcome to <b>Murmur</b> server.<br />Enjoy your stay!<br />"

Adding a SuperUser account

Some features — such as creating permanent channels — require a SuperUser account. Create one with:

/usr/sbin/murmurd -ini ~/.config/murmur/mumble-server.ini -supw yourpasswordhere

Then log in to Mumble with the username SuperUser and the password you chose.
