Getting started after deploying Mumble¶

A notification will be sent to the e-mail specified during registration that the server is ready for work after paying for the order. It will contain the IP address of the VPS, as well as the login and password for the connection. Clients of our company manage the hardware in the server`s and API control panel — Invapi.

To begin using the service, download the Mumble client to your device and install it.

The equipment must be set up initially during the first startup:

• Specify input and output device - you can leave the default options, and select additional settings (check boxes, optional):
  • Use echo cancellation;
  • Enable audio positioning;
  • Mute sound in other applications when other users are talking.

It is necessary:

• Set the outgoing equipment delay to the minimum value using the slider;
• Adjust the microphone volume;
• Define voice activity. You can also assign a button to activate voice communication at this step;
• Set quality and notification settings;
• Make positional audio attenuation adjustments;
• Configure certificate authentication (it is recommended to select the option for automatic certificate creation);
• Once selected, finish the configuration and click the Complete button.

Connecting to the Mumble Server¶

To connect to the Mumble server, use the following credentials:

• Login - SuperUser;
• Password - Automatically generated password (instructions for obtaining the password are below).

docker exec -it [CONTAINER_ID] murmurd -ini /etc/mumble-server.ini -supw [new_password]

Connecting to the server follows this algorithm:

• Start the Mumble client and click on the Add New... button;
• Enter the IP address of the Mumble server in the Address field. The IP address of the server can be found in the server card in the Invapi panel in the Network tab:

• If the server uses a non-standard port, specify it in the Port field. By default, port 64738 is used;
• Enter the administrator's username - SuperUser - into the Username field;
• After entering the username, the Password field will open. Here, you need to enter the SuperUser user password from the server logs. For connecting other users, password input is optional and depends on settings configured by the administrator;
• In the Label field, enter the server name. This will allow users to search for and connect to the server:
