uMurmur is a minimalistic server for Mumble designed to run on embedded systems (DD-WRT or OpenWRT) or older PC hardware. It does not include the QT framework, which makes it a much smaller package and lighter on system resources.

Installation

USE flags

Cannot load package information. Is the atom media-sound/umurmur correct?

Emerge

Install uMurmur via:

Configuration

For the most up to date details on configuration visit the configuration article on uMurmur's GitHub page.

In short, configuration is as follows.

Files

• /etc/conf.d/umurmurd - File that controls what options are passed to the umurmurd daemon upon starting or restarting.
• /etc/umurmur/umurmur.conf - Primary configuration file. Used to set channel names, IP addresses, group names, password, etc.

Modify the primary configuration file as desired. Be sure to set a password if the service should be private:

FILE /etc/umurmur/umurmur.conf

password = "mysecretpassword";

Services

OpenRC

After configuration is in a working state, start the server:

root #rc-service umurmurd start

To have the daemon start each time the system boots add it to the default runlevel:

root #rc-update add umurmurd default

To restart the service:

root #rc-service umurmurd restart

Systemd

For systemd users, run the following command to start the daemon:

root #systemctl start umurmurd.service

To have the daemon start on system boot issue:

root #systemctl enable umurmurd.service

To restart the service:

root #systemctl restart umurmurd.service
