Free Mumble Hosting

GuildBit is a full-stack application written in Python to offer temporary virtual Mumble servers to users. Guildbit depends on murmur-rest API backend to interface with the virtual Mumble servers.

Technology Stack

• Flask - Python Framework
• Flask-SQLAlchemy - PostgreSQL/SQLite ORM
• Celery - Message Queue for scheduling Mumble Server tasks
• Redis - Cache backend and message broker for Celery
• Python-requests - HTTP requests to murmur-rest API
• Murmur-rest - Murmur HTTP API

Development

It is highly recommended to use Docker to setup your environment. A docker-compose.yml is provided as a typical setup for the following services:

• Guildbit App
• Celery - Task scheduler.
• Flower - Celery Dashboard UI
• NGINX - optional reverse proxy
• Redis Server - key/value storage for caching and message broker
• murmur-rest - Murmur HTTP API
• murmurd - Mumble Server

If using Docker, scroll down to Docker Setup

Requirements

• Redis-server
• PostgreSQL
• Virtualenv recommended for development
• murmur-rest

Please note murmur-rest MUST be setup in order to deploy virtual Mumble servers. However, it is possible to work on the Guildbit app without murmur-rest, you just won't be able to deploy or administer any Mumble servers.

$ git clone https://github.com/alfg/guildbit
$ virtualenv env --system-site-packages
$ . env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ export FLASK_ENV=development
$ export FLASK_RUN_HOST=0.0.0.0
$ export FLASK_RUN_PORT=5000
$ flask run

* Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
* Restarting with reloader

• Database and schema will automatically be created via Flask-Migrate.
• Development server is running with default settings. See Configuration Guide for additional configuration options.
• Run celery in a separate process (but in the same python environment) to start the messaging queue:

  $ celery worker --app=app.tasks -l info
  

Docker

A Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml is provided for setting up a local development server. This will startup and link all services needed to run Guildbit:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

Starting guildbit_redis_1   ... done
Starting guildbit_murmurd_1 ... done
Starting guildbit_db_1      ... done
Starting guildbit_flower_1  ... done
Starting guildbit_murmur-rest_1 ... done
Starting guildbit_guildbit_1    ... done
Starting guildbit_guildbit-tasks_1  ... done
Starting guildbit_nginx_1       ... done

Or run flask run via Docker for active devleopment with a local volume mounted:

λ docker-compose run --service-ports guildbit bash
Starting guildbit_db_1      ... done
Starting guildbit_redis_1   ... done
Starting guildbit_murmurd_1 ... done
Starting guildbit_murmur-rest_1 ... done

(venv) root@dbf0add00eec:/opt/guildbit# flask run
 * Serving Flask app "app" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: development
 * Debug mode: on
 * Running on http://0.0.0.0:8081/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
 * Debugger is active!
 * Debugger PIN: 212-673-348

The database schema should automatically be created and ready for use.

Load http://localhost:8081 in your browser.
