# mumble-server-user-wrapper(1)

User wrapper for mumble-server.

## NAME

mumble-server-user-wrapper - User wrapper for mumble-server.

## SYNOPSIS

**mumble-server-user-wrapper** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

mumble-server is the server component of Mumble, a low-latency, high quality VoIP application. mumble-server-wrapper is a wrapper script to make it easier for normal users to set up their own, private Mumble server.

## OPTIONS

- **-d** *"directory"*

  Set directory to use. By default, the wrapper script uses $HOME/murmur

- **-s**

  Check if mumble-server process is running.

- **-k**

  Terminate running mumble-server process.

- **-i**

  Initialize only, do not start the server.

- **-p** *"password"*

  Specify password for the SuperUser account and exit. SuperUser is the mumble equivalent of root, a special user which bypasses all access restrictions.

## NOTES

To create your own private server, you first want to run

-

  mumble-server-user-wrapper -i

Then edit ~/murmur/murmur.ini to set the various configuration settings. The most important is probably the port; unless you're the only mumble-server process running on this server, you'll need to change it.

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\>*

Once this is done, simply run

-

  mumble-server-user-wrapper

to start the server.
