🌸 mumble-server-user-wrapper(1) — the girlies' guide to running your own Mumble server 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to mumble-server-user-wrapper(1) from the General Commands Manual section. sit down, grab a boba, we're setting up a whole VoIP server together and it's gonna be iconic. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

mumble-server-user-wrapper — a user wrapper for mumble-server. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she's serving. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mumble-server-user-wrapper [options]

no positional args, no drama, just options. periodt.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so mumble-server is the server side of Mumble — which is a low-latency, high-quality VoIP application, like, actually good voice chat, not the crunchy kind. 🎧

and mumble-server-wrapper? she's a wrapper script whose whole job is making it easier for normal users (yes, that means you, no root required) to set up their own private Mumble server. your own little server. your own little kingdom. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d "directory" — set the directory to use. by default the wrapper script uses $HOME/murmur, so if you don't say anything, that's where she's living. 🏠
• -s — check if the mumble-server process is running. a little vibe check for your server. 👀
• -k — terminate the running mumble-server process. bye bestie 💀
• -i — initialize only, do not start the server. setup mode, no launch. 🌱
• -p "password" — specify the password for the SuperUser account and then exit. and ngl you need to know what SuperUser is: SuperUser is the Mumble equivalent of root, a special user which bypasses all access restrictions. so like, the final boss of permissions. choose that password wisely. 🔐

🧚 NOTES 🧚

okay here's the whole glow-up routine, step by step:

step 1 — to create your own private server, you first want to run:

mumble-server-user-wrapper -i

step 2 — then edit ~/murmur/murmur.ini to set the various configuration settings. the most important one is probably the port; unless you're the only mumble-server process running on this server, you'll need to change it. yes, actually. do it. don't skip this part, i'm begging. 😭

step 3 — when you're happy with your settings, you need to set the password for SuperUser, which is your administrator account:

mumble-server-user-wrapper -p <password>

step 4 — once this is done, simply run:

mumble-server-user-wrapper

to start the server. and that's it. you did it. she's alive. 🎉

no cap: the -i → edit murmur.ini → -p → run order is the whole ritual. skipping steps is giving chaos. 🙈
