Murmur (Mumble server)

[ThomasDK81]

I guys,

I found this:

• http://mumble.sourceforge.net/BuildingFreeBSD
• http://www.freshports.org/audio/murmur
• https://code.google.com/p/umurmur/ (minimalistic version of murmur)
• http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/pbi/PBI/PBI/audio/mumble/9/x64/

I am lost, since I havn't looked into FreeNAS 9 yet, and don't have a clue about which method is smartest.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am lost, since I havn't looked into FreeNAS 9 yet, and don't have a clue about which method is smartest.

The PBI or the port.

 

[ThomasDK81]

Thanks.
Then I'll look into how I get a PBI to work.

 

[ThomasDK81]

I tried with the PBI first, the files where added and the murmur user/group was created.
But dependencies where missing, I went hunting for the dependencies (qt4 etc.) and installed them via pkg_add -r
Permissions were all set to root, so had to find the different files murmur used (db, log, pid folder etc.) and chown them to murmur:murmur.

Perhaps the port were a better method, I don't know :)
But its working now.

First time you run murmur you set the Superuser password with .supw <password>
This isn't working for me, everything else is working fine.

Maybe someone finds this useful someday.

Well tried again also in a pluginjail with:

pkg install murmur

This installed it perfectly

- Setup guide ------------------------------------

Edit the settings in the .ini file here:

/usr/local/etc/murmur.ini

Set the SuperUser password:

/usr/local/sbin/murmurd -ini /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini -supw <yourpassword>

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add:

murmur_enable="YES"

Start the server:

service murmur start

Thanks for this post! Did these steps last night and it worked flawlessly. Someone should really add murmur to the official FreeNAS plugin list.

Add it as an official FreeNAS plugin? All you did was 'pkg install' it, if we added every program you could install like this there would be hundreds to thousands of "official" FreeNAS plugins.

I'm new to the FreeNAS world so i'm just very happy that i can install a bunch of plugins on my FreeBSD-based box. The plugins for pfsense are much more narrow for example. But from what i have understood, every PBI from the PC-BSD database is not 100% compatible with FreeNAS just out of the box? I guess every plugin that's available in the "plugins" section of the FreeNAS web interface is somewhat tested for compability, right? Who is deciding on what plugins should be in that list? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to fill some information gaps that i have

On pfSense you could just install non-plugin software in a FreeBSD jail just like on FreeNAS (this is what I do at my family member's houses who don't need/want multiple servers). It's not ideal, but works well if your comfortable just working on the commandline.

I haven't messed with PBIs from PCBSD and don't see why I would choose that over a regular package.
Plugins (PBIs) in that list are packaged to somewhat integrate into the FreeNAS gui. No one decides on this list per-se, that's just all we got currently.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if there's an list/site that lists all PBI:s? I thought most of the plugins available for FreeNAS was from PC-BSD but i guess not?

There's pretty much the official ones you can get from the repo, and the ones I make. I don't know of anyone else currently making their own.

Is there a specific user you need to use for the ini or something to get this working? I just spun up a fresh jail and installed murmur but when I try to start the service I get:
ServerDB: Database driver QSQLITE not available

Running FreeNAS 9.7.1.7, any help is appreciated.

I don't think that is a permission/user problem. usually permissions of a config file aren't a problem, as long as it is world readable. XX(4+)

The reason I was thinking permissions is because the message I got when trying to set the superuser password:

I tried adding murmur as the uname in the ini file but still get the message about root.

Thanks.

hmm, not sure. I setup murmur instance the other day by just 'pkg add murmur', and starting the service. but im on 9.2.1.6 so maybe some dependency changed in the jail?

Could be possible I guess. I create a jail from scratch, uncheck vimage, check autostart and vanilla then run pkg install murmur.

hmm install looks good. weird it says your using root, by default the init script is supposed to use the murmur user

Thanks for checking it out. I will keep poking around and see if I can get it working.

I also get this error when trying to start Murmur

Starting murmur.
ServerDB: Database driver QSQLITE not available

I'm on 9.2.1.7 using a pluginjail with vanilla checked.

Any ideas?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

maybe try 'pkg install sqlite3' or possibly even py27-sqlite3? I'm not sure what method murmur uses to call sqlite, but I know there were some issues with this.

also i never mess with the vanilla or vimage setting, I just leave them alone.
