Server manager

[Krzmbrzl]

Context

Managing a single server or managing multiple virtual servers running within the same Mumble server instance.

Description

Create a small separate, stand-alone GUI application that can be used to configure a running server instance. This should include editing the channel tree and also setting config options.

As a bonus it would be nice to be able to manipulate groups and ACLs from there as well.

Mumble component

Server

OS-specific?

Would like to see this for Linux for sure, would be nice to see this on Windows too.

Yeah I think if we implement it, we should do it in a cross platform way so that it is available on all platforms Mumble itself can be run on.

how about a simple web page?

[Krzmbrzl]

I think that using a web page as frontend probably makes things more complicated, unless we do a web only version, which uses something like PHP to interface with the server via Ice.
But personally, I wouldn't want to tinker with a web only solution. I'm just not into web dev at all 🤷

That's not to say that it wouldn't be a viable solution, in general.

By running this command, wouldn't this allow you to run multiple servers in the terminal window and be able to stop/kill a server by pressing CTRL+C?

To run multiple servers, you will need to change the INI path and have a separate terminal tab or window for each server.

mumble-server -fg -ini "/home/USERNAME/Services/Mumble Servers/SERVER NAME.ini"

What command?

[trymeouteh]

What command?

mumble-server -fg -ini "/home/USERNAME/Services/Mumble Servers/SERVER NAME.ini"

This command above?

The -fg flag will allow you to stop/kill the server by pressing CTRL+C

Ah 💡
Yes indeed that works. However, the main thing of a server manager (imo) would be to be able to also take care of the server's configuration and user/channel administration, which can currently only be done via the Ice interface.
