Host Your own VOIP Service

This tutorial tries to make it as quick and easy as possible to set up your own VOIP service rather than renting a Ventrillo or Teamspeak server. This can also replace using Lynk or Skype, however it does not have webcam streaming features that those services have. This also requires all the users to use the mumble client (free) to be able to talk to each other.

    Install the mumble client on your home computer.
    • Ubuntu users run the following command:
      sudo apt-get install mumble
    • Windows users can download this file and run the installer inside.
    Run the following commands on your Linux server.
    mkdir -p /mnt/mumble
    sudo docker run -d=true -p=64738:64738 -v=/mnt/mumble:/data programster/mumble-server
    Use the IP of your server in your mumble client to connect to the server.
    If you want to connect as the "SuperUser", the password is located at /mnt/mumble/superuser_password.txt on the server.
    Configuring your Mumble server for authenticated user accounts is coming soon!

A big thank you to Overshard on Github as I used his mumble project as a working foundation to build upon. I have made many customizations, so if you want to extend my work, you can find all the project files inside /home/mumble in the running docker container. Click here if you don't know how to enter a running container.

Ubuntu - Record Skype Calls

Introduction

These days, it can be very useful to record your telephone conversations, not only to help solve legal arguments, but also in order to be able to remember details you may have forgotten. Please be aware that if you are recording a conversation, you may need to state that this is the case if you intend to use it for a third party. In the uk you do not need to notify the other person that you are recording a conversation if you intend to be the only person using it. More details here.
