Mumble is a completely free and open source alternative to other voice suites, such as Teamspeak. It runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, and iOS. This guide will teach you how to setup a Mumble server on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

Basic installation<\/h3>\n

This installation will automatically create a user named “mumble-server” which will be used to run the Mumble server.<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get update\r\nsudo apt-get install mumble-server\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now we have to set some basic configuration options.<\/p>\n
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will give you some configuration choices:<\/p>\n
\n
Select “Yes” to autostart mumble-server on server boot.<\/li>\n
Select “Yes” to allow the mumble-server to use higher priority. This is not essential, but generally recommended for optimal performance.<\/li>\n
Enter the password for the SuperUser account. This will be used when managing the server from the Mumble client.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Additional configuration<\/h3>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/mumble-server.ini\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Here you can change the more advanced options for the actual server. All other options can be configured from the Mumble client using the SuperUser login that we setup a password for earlier.<\/p>\n
Some recommended changes to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Uncomment the autoban related lines below for some added security.<\/li>\n
Uncomment and change the “registerName” line. This will be the server name displayed on top of the channel hierarchy. By default, it is named “Root” – but a custom name usually looks better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some additional options that you may want to change:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
“users” – If you want to limit or increase the default of 100.<\/li>\n
“port” – If for some reason you would rather not run on the default of 64738.<\/li>\n
“welcometext” – This message is displayed when someone connects to the server. It accepts basic HTML code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When you’re done configuring your options, restart the Mumble server:<\/p>\n
sudo service mumble-server restart\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Open firewall ports<\/h3>\n
If you use UFW, then it’s very easy. If you’re not sure, run the command\u00a0ufw status<\/code>. You will see a printout similar to “Status: active” when UFW is running. In this case, run the command below to open the required firewall port.<\/p>\n
sudo ufw allow 64738\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Otherwise, it is assumed that you’re using iptables. You can use these commands for iptables:<\/p>\n
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 64738 -j ACCEPT\r\niptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 64738 -j ACCEPT\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 64738 -j ACCEPT\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 64738 -j ACCEPT\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
That’s all! You will now be able to connect with the SuperUser username and the password you set, and manage your channel using the Mumble client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[242,247],"manual_kb_tag":[435],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2858"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2859,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2858\/revisions\/2859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2858"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
