+@cindex Murmur (VoIP server)
+@cindex VoIP server
+This section describes how to set up and run a Murmur server. Murmur is
+the server of the @uref{https://mumble.info, Mumble} voice-over-IP
+(VoIP) suite.
+
+@deftp {Data Type} murmur-configuration
+The service type for the Murmur server. An example configuration can
+look like this:
+
+@example
+(service murmur-service-type
+ (murmur-configuration
+ (welcome-text
+ "Welcome to this Mumble server running on GuixSD!")
+ (cert-required? #t) ;disallow text password logins
+ (ssl-cert "/etc/letsencrypt/live/mumble.example.com/fullchain.pem")
+ (ssl-key "/etc/letsencrypt/live/mumble.example.com/privkey.pem")))
+@end example
+
+After reconfiguring your system, you can manually set the murmur @code{SuperUser}
+password with the command that is printed during the activation phase.
+
+It is recommended to register a normal Mumble user account
+and grant it admin or moderator rights.
+You can use the @code{mumble} client to
+login as new normal user, register yourself, and log out.
+For the next step login with the name @code{SuperUser} use
+the @code{SuperUser} password that you set previously,
+and grant your newly registered mumble user administrator or moderator
+rights and create some channels.
+
+Available @code{murmur-configuration} fields are:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{package} (default: @code{mumble})
+Package that contains @code{bin/murmurd}.
+
+@item @code{user} (default: @code{"murmur"})
+User who will run the Murmur server.
+
+@item @code{group} (default: @code{"murmur"})
+Group of the user who will run the murmur server.
+
+@item @code{port} (default: @code{64738})
+Port on which the server will listen.
+
+@item @code{welcome-text} (default: @code{""})
+Welcome text sent to clients when they connect.
+
+@item @code{server-password} (default: @code{""})
+Password the clients have to enter in order to connect.
+
+@item @code{max-users} (default: @code{100})
+Maximum of users that can be connected to the server at once.
+
+@item @code{max-user-bandwidth} (default: @code{#f})
+Maximum voice traffic a user can send per second.
+
+@item @code{database-file} (default: @code{"/var/lib/murmur/db.sqlite"})

+@item @code{cert-required?} (default: @code{#f})
+If it is set to @code{#t} clients that use weak password authentification
+will not be accepted. Users must have completed the certificate wizard to join.
+
+@item @code{remember-channel?} (defualt @code{#f})
+Should murmur remember the last channel each user was in when they disconnected
+and put them into the remembered channel when they rejoin.
+
+@item @code{allow-html?} (default: @code{#f})
+Should html be allowed in text messages, user comments, and channel descriptions.
+
+@item @code{allow-ping?} (default: @code{#f})
+Setting to true exposes the current user count, the maximum user count, and
+the server's maximum bandwidth per client to unauthenticated users. In the
+Mumble client, this information is shown in the Connect dialog.
+
+Disabling this setting will prevent public listing of the server.
+
+@item @code{bonjour?} (default: @code{#f})
+Should the server advertise itself in the local network through the bonjour protocol.
+
+@item @code{send-version?} (default: @code{#f})
+Should the murmur server version be exposed in ping requests.
+
+@item @code{log-days} (default: @code{31})
+Murmur also stores logs in the database, which are accessible via RPC.
+The default is 31 days of months, but you can set this setting to 0 to keep logs forever,
+or -1 to disable logging to the database.

+or @code{"@@ffdhe8192"} to use bundled parameters from RFC 7919.
+
+@item @code{ssl-ciphers} (default: @code{#f})
+The @code{ssl-ciphers} option chooses the cipher suites to make available for use
+in SSL/TLS.
+
+This option is specified using
+@uref{https://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER-LIST-FORMAT,
+OpenSSL cipher list notation}.
+
+It is recommended that you try your cipher string using 'openssl ciphers <string>'
+before setting it here, to get a feel for which cipher suites you will get.
+After setting this option, it is recommend that you inspect your Murmur log
+to ensure that Murmur is using the cipher suites that you expected it to.
+
+Note: Changing this option may impact the backwards compatibility of your
+Murmur server, and can remove the ability for older Mumble clients to be able
+to connect to it.

+You cannot register your server if you have set a @code{server-password},
+or set @code{allow-ping} to @code{#f}.
