# Mumble Mumble is a free voice chat server. While not as flashy as TeamSpeak, it has all the functionality and is easier to customize. And is better. I may be slightly biased. ```eval_rst .. note:: Note that this guide assumes that you have installed Auth with the official :doc:`/installation/allianceauth` guide under ``/home/allianceserver`` and that it is called ``myauth``. Accordingly it assumes that you have a service user called ``allianceserver`` that is used to run all Auth services under supervisor. ``` ```eval_rst .. note:: Same as the official installation guide this guide is assuming you are performing all steps as ``root`` user. ``` ```eval_rst .. warning:: This guide is currently for Ubuntu only. ``` ## Installations ### Installing Mumble Server The mumble server package can be retrieved from a repository, which we need to add: ```bash apt-add-repository ppa:mumble/release ``` ```bash apt-get update ``` Now three packages need to be installed: ```bash apt-get install python-software-properties mumble-server libqt5sql5-mysql ``` ### Installing Mumble Authenticator Next, we need to download the latest authenticator release from the [authenticator repository](https://gitlab.com/allianceauth/mumble-authenticator). ```bash git clone https://gitlab.com/allianceauth/mumble-authenticator /home/allianceserver/mumble-authenticator ``` We will now install the authenticator into your Auth virtual environment. Please make sure to activate it first: ```bash source /home/allianceserver/venv/auth/bin/activate ``` Install the python dependencies for the mumble authenticator. Note that this process can take a couple minutes to complete. ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## Configuring Mumble Server The mumble server needs it's own database. Open an SQL shell with `mysql -u root -p` and execute the SQL commands to create it: ```sql CREATE DATABASE alliance_mumble CHARACTER SET utf8mb4; ``` ```sql GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON alliance_mumble . * TO 'allianceserver'@'localhost'; ``` Mumble ships with a configuration file that needs customization. By default it’s located at `/etc/mumble-server.ini`. Open it with your favorite text editor: ```bash nano /etc/mumble-server.ini ``` We need to enable the ICE authenticator. Edit the following: - `icesecretwrite=MY_CLEVER_PASSWORD`, obviously choosing a secure password - ensure the line containing `Ice="tcp -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6502"` is uncommented We also want to enable Mumble to use the previously created MySQL / MariaDB database, edit the following: - uncomment the database line, and change it to `database=alliance_mumble` - `dbDriver=QMYSQL` - `dbUsername=allianceserver` or whatever you called the Alliance Auth MySQL user - `dbPassword=` that user’s password - `dbPort=3306` - `dbPrefix=murmur_` To name your root channel, uncomment and set `registerName=` to whatever cool name you want Save and close the file. To get Mumble superuser account credentials, run the following: ```bash dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server ``` Set the password to something you’ll remember and write it down. This is your superuser password and later needed to manage ACLs. Now restart the server to see the changes reflected. ```bash service mumble-server restart ``` That’s it! Your server is ready to be connected to at example.com:64738 ## Configuring Mumble Authenticator The ICE authenticator lives in the mumble-authenticator repository, cd to the directory where you cloned it. Make a copy of the default config: ```bash cp authenticator.ini.example authenticator.ini ``` Edit `authenticator.ini` and change these values: - `[database]` - `user =` your allianceserver MySQL user - `password =` your allianceserver MySQL user's password - `[ice]` - `secret =` the `icewritesecret` password set earlier Test your configuration by starting it: ```bash python /home/allianceserver/mumble-authenticator/authenticator.py ``` And finally ensure the allianceserver user has read/write permissions to the mumble authenticator files before proceeding: ```bash chown -R allianceserver:allianceserver /home/allianceserver/mumble-authenticator ``` The authenticator needs to be running 24/7 to validate users on Mumble. This can be achieved by adding a section to your auth project's supervisor config file like the following example: ```text [program:authenticator] command=/home/allianceserver/venv/auth/bin/python authenticator.py directory=/home/allianceserver/mumble-authenticator user=allianceserver stdout_logfile=/home/allianceserver/myauth/log/authenticator.log stderr_logfile=/home/allianceserver/myauth/log/authenticator.log autostart=true autorestart=true startsecs=10 priority=996 ``` In addition we'd recommend to add the authenticator to Auth's restart group in your supervisor conf. For that you need to add it to the group line as shown in the following example: ```text [group:myauth] programs=beat,worker,gunicorn,authenticator priority=999 ``` To enable the changes in your supervisor configuration you need to restart the supervisor process itself. And before we do that we are shutting down the current Auth supervisors gracefully: ```bash supervisor stop myauth: systemctl restart supervisor ``` ## Configuring Auth In your auth project's settings file (`myauth/settings/local.py`), do the following: - Add `'allianceauth.services.modules.mumble',` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` list - set `MUMBLE_URL` to the public address of your mumble server. Do not include any leading `http://` or `mumble://`. Example config: ```python # Installed apps INSTALLED_APPS += [ # ... 'allianceauth.services.modules.mumble' # ... ] # Mumble Configuration MUMBLE_URL = "mumble.example.com" ``` Finally, run migrations and restart your supervisor to complete the setup: ```bash python /home/allianceserver/myauth/manage.py migrate ``` ```bash supervisorctl restart myauth: ``` ## Permissions on Auth To enable the mumble service for users on Auth you need to give them the `access_mumble` permission. This permission is often added to the `Member` state. ```eval_rst .. note:: Note that groups will only be created on Mumble automatically when a user joins who is in the group. ``` ## ACL configuration On a freshly installed mumble server only your superuser has the right to configure ACLs and create channels. The credentials for logging in with your superuser are: - user: `SuperUser` - password: *what you defined when configuring your mumble server*
