Mumble FAQ

Didn’t find an answer? Message @ExpressHost_SupportBot.

How is Mumble different from TeamSpeak?

Mumble is fully open source with no slot limit. TeamSpeak is easier for non-technical users, but without a license it's limited to 32 slots.

How do I update the server?

Run docker pull mumblevoip/mumble-server:latest and recreate the container with the same command. Channels stay in the mumble-data volume.

Where is the data stored?

In the mumble-data Docker volume (folder /data): SQLite database and config.

Mumble installs at checkout — in the bot.
