Guide: Mumble: Installing Murmur on pfsense

Swingtrade

Hi,
i managed to have a fully working murmur server on my pfsense box.
Not sure if this is good practice but here it is:
Read this disclaimer: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages

-First we need to install The "shellcmd" package from the pfsense webgui. we will need this later to start the daemon(service).

-Second we need to download the Freebsd ports list from repository
I did this from the shell, on a putty console from windows
Enable secure shell from the webgui -sytem -advance -Admin access -Enable Secure Shell(check) -Save and apply.
Download the putty .ZIP file containing all the binaries (for windows)
-http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.zip
-Extract and run putty.exe
-input your pfsense LAN ip adress in putty and clic open
-log in with your pfsense admin credential (user:admin , password)

Copy and paste in putty:

fetch -o - "ftp://ftp1.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz" | tar zxf - -C /usr

Then

pkg_add -r murmur

***ALTERNATIVELY you could just paste this for Freebsd 8.3 based PFSense:

pkg_add -r http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.3-release/Latest/murmur.tbz

Let the magic do it's work and go back to the webgui once done.

Go to -Sevices -Shellcmd add a command (+)

murmurd -ini /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini

Type:

Shellcmd

-Add a WAN firewall rule for murmur
-firewall - rules -WAN -(+) -protocol: TPC/UDP -source:ANY -Destination:WAN address -Port range:64738 to 64738.
PoRt rAnGe must match port you setup in murmur.ini…

-Now go to -Diagnostics -Edit Files
Browse to "/usr/local/etc/murmur.ini" and edit the file (config for murmur)
It should work out of the box but i usualy set bandwith to 48000, you could also set a server password...

Save

Reboot and you are done.

-Administration from Mumble
You will need to set the SuperUser password for murmur if you intent to administer you server...:)
In PFSense webgui go to -Now go to -Diagnostics -Command prompt

Paste this and replace "yourpasword" with yours.

murmurd -ini /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini -supw yourpassword

Execute

Login to murmur from Mumble with the user: SuperUser , and yourpassword

For more detail go to murmur wiki
:)

***Note: *** if you set uname=murmur in murmur.ini, the server does not seem to work..
To fix this i change the permision for the database file of murmur from execute command in webgui :

chmod a+rw /var/db/murmur/murmur.sqlite

Then you can set uname=murmur in murmur.ini to run the server in user mode instead of root.

Will edit this post if needed.

**UPDATE

For PFsense 2.3.2**

You will need putty and winscp

Log into shell with putty, we need to install all the dependencies first.

pkg install icu
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/qt4-corelib-4.8.7_1.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/qt4-sql-4.8.7.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/qt4-network-4.8.7.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/mDNSResponder-576.30.4.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/qt4-sqlite-plugin-4.8.7.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/protobuf-2.6.1.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/qt4-xml-4.8.7.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/murmur-1.2.10_1.txz

Reboot pfsense

Log into pfsense with winscp
create folder /var/db/murmur/
(for some reason it's not created when installed)

Log into PfSense shell with putty again

murmurd -ini /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini

To set superuser password

murmurd -ini /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini -supw yourpassword

You can edit your murmur.ini by browsing with winscp right clic and edit /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini

-Add a WAN firewall rule for murmur
-firewall - rules -WAN -(+) -protocol: TPC/UDP -source:ANY -Destination:WAN address -Port range:64738 to 64738.
PoRt rAnGe must match port you setup in murmur.ini…

Works here.

Nice write up. :)

Any reason you didn't use the 8.3 specific package?
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.3-release/Latest/murmur.tbz

Thanks :)

I did not notice. For some reason it seams like browsing the latest gave me this version.

I also remember trying to fetch "http" but could not make it happen. I need wget maybe.

I will test this again maybe from a vm.

Edit:
Tested and working
Will fix the first post. Thanks!

Wouldn't normally dredge up a dead topic but I think I'll try this vs using a VPS I have out in the cloud right now for Mumble/TS (probably condense down to just Mumble). Is anyone running this for long periods of time with success?

Thanks!

opjohnny

Are there any updated guides/steps on this?

cfdfireman

Any updated guides for 2.2.5? I am still running 2.1.5 but do not want to upgrade unless I can install mumble on it. Thanks.

Swingtrade

Updated for 2.3.2, see first post. :P

Gestel

Thanks for this guide it really helped. I did run into a snag though on 2.3.3:

If you follow the posted guide

pkg install icu

will install icu-58.2,1. This will then throw an error when you try to run murmurd.

Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (Shared object "icui18n" not found, required by "murmurd")"

To resolve this I issued:

pkg remove icu

Then added the icu package 55 as per rest of guide:

pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:i386/release_3/All/icu-55.1.txz

I also had to re-add all the QT dependancies as listed above because the removal of icu also removed QT. Of course if you add icu-55 first there is no need to remove anything and the guide is still good.

Hope this saves someone some time. I love Mumble and wish it could be a native package :P
***For the observant; I added this to an i386 architecture. So be careful when copy-pasting!
