💖 murmur-user-wrapper(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, we're doing murmur-user-wrapper today and honestly? it's a little gem 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

murmur-user-wrapper — the user wrapper for murmurd. that's it, that's the name, she's a wrapper and she serves 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

murmur-user-wrapper [options]

just you, your options, and a dream ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. Murmur is the server component of Mumble, which is a low-latency, high-quality VoIP application — like, actually high quality, no cap 🔥

murmur-wrapper is a wrapper script whose whole entire job is making it easier for normal users (yes, you, not just the sysadmin girlies) to set up their own private murmur server. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -d "directory" — sets the directory to use. by default the wrapper script uses $HOME/murmur, which is giving very much "your home, your rules" 🏠
  • -s — checks if the murmur process is running. a little vibe check, if you will 👀
  • -k — terminates the running murmur process. not me ending things 😭💀
  • -i — initialize only, do not start the server. baby steps, we're just setting up 🌱
  • -p "password" — specifies the password for the SuperUser account and then exits. and SuperUser? that's the mumble equivalent of root — a special user who bypasses all access restrictions. all of them. the whole security model just looks away 🙈👑

🌈 NOTES 🌈

to create your own private server, first you wanna run:

murmur-user-wrapper -i

then edit ~/murmur/murmur.ini to set the various configuration settings. the most important one is probably the port — unless you're literally the only murmur process running on this server, you're gonna need to change it. shared ports are not the vibe 💀

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

murmur-user-wrapper -p <password>

once that's done, simply run:

murmur-user-wrapper

to start the server. and that's it, you're live, you ate 🍓✨
