Installation TeamSpeak Server

First, we need to install the TeamSpeak server. Start by launching your browser and navigate to – https://teamspeak.com/en/downloads/#server Then on Linux choose 32-bit or 64-bit – download according to your system. After that, you can use the wget command to download the TeamSpeak archive like:

wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.13.3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.3.tar.bz2

Next, you need to extract the archive. This can be done with the tar command:

tar -xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.3.tar.bz2

Then change to the extracted directory and start generating the “.ts3server_license_accepted” file. Add the line “license_accepted = 1“

     sudo touch .ts3server_license_accepted

license_accepted=1

Then start the server. This must be done with the following command:

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

After that, you need to log in using your credentials (root & password)

Installation of the TeamSpeak client

In order to log into the TeamSpeak server and use it quite comfortably, you need the TeamSpeak client. To do this, you need to go to the resources page, download the client and follow all further conditions and steps.

https://teamspeak.com/en/downloads/

Here you need to choose 32-bit or 64-bit for your Linux. After downloading, you should start your new client and enter the IP address of your TeamSpeak server. Then the last step is to click on Connect, then provide the server token and paste it.

adduser --disabled-login user_for_teamspeak

Then switch to this user to make certain manipulations and changes. This can be done like this:

su user_for_teamspeak

Before you click on the link below, check the official TeamSpeak website for versions and updates. If it does not match, change the number in the version number of this utility.

Now is using the last version – 3.5.6

wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.5.6/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.5.6.tar.bz2

After successfully installation, unpack the downloaded archive.

tar xvfj teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-*.tar.bz2

Copy all contents from the extracted directory to the teampeak user’s home directory.

cp teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/* -R /home/user_for_teamspeak/

The download file isn’t required from now. It means, that you can delete it.

teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-*.tar.bz2

Then you need to accept the license agreement. You will be able to create a special file

/home/user_for_teamspeak/.ts3server_license_accepted

Log out of the user’s TeamSpeak session. You can use the following command:

exit

Then, after successfully log out, you can create a systemd service file to start Teamspeak on boot.

nano /lib/systemd/system/ts3server.service

Then you need to add the following text. After adding, you need to save it

[Unit]
Description=TeamSpeak 3 Server
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/user_for_teamspeak
User=user_for_teamspeak
ExecStart=/home/user_for_teamspeak/ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh
ExecStop=/home/user_for_teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
ExecReload=/home/user_for_teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh restart
Restart=always
RestartSec=15

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then please restart systemd system

systemctl daemon-reload

Launch and enable your installed TeamSpeak utilite to start on boot.

systemctl start ts3server
systemctl enable ts3server

Then you’ll be able to switch to user teampeak

su user_for_teamspeak

The last step is to get the ServerAdmin privilege key needed to connect to the server for the first time

/home/user_for_teamspeak/logs/ts3server_*
