Step 2Choose an app template
Click New App and choose the template deployment path so Server Compass can load the built-in catalog.
3
Step 3Search for Mumble
Use the template picker search to find Mumble in the Server Compass template catalog.
4
Step 4Select the Mumble template
Choose the Mumble template. Server Compass fills the voice server service, maps the same host port for TCP and UDP, and adds a persistent data volume.
5
Step 5Review the Mumble settings
Confirm the app name, host voice port, and SuperUser secret. In this run, the app was named mumble-demo and used host port 4147 for both TCP and UDP.
6
Step 6Deploy Mumble
Review the generated compose settings, confirm the Mumble port is available, and click Deploy.
7
Step 7Watch the deployment progress
Keep the deployment modal open while Server Compass uploads the compose file, pulls the Mumble image, starts the container, and verifies the stack.
8
Step 8Confirm Mumble is running
After deployment finishes, return to the Apps tab and confirm the Mumble app is marked Running.
After Mumble Opens
- Connect with a desktop or mobile Mumble client to the VPS host and port shown in Server Compass.
- Log in as SuperUser with the password entered during deployment, then configure channels and ACLs.
- Keep both TCP and UDP open on the selected port; UDP carries voice traffic.
- Back up the Mumble data volume because it stores channels, permissions, users, and certificates.
- Consider a DNS name and a managed certificate before sharing the server with a wider team.
Verified Result
The Mumble container was running and Docker reported published TCP and UDP listeners for client connections.
