Teamspeak3

Installation

Create a directory

mkdir /teamspeak

and a non-root user

adduser teamspeak --system --home /teamspeak --disabled-login

Get the server package downloadlink from either the website or directly from the fileserver

https://www.teamspeak.com/de/downloads/#server
https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/

Change to your directory and download the package

cd /teamspeak
wget <URL>

Unpack

tar -xjf <PACKAGE>

Change the owner of the files to your user

chown -R teamspeak /teamspeak/ 

Configuration

If you feel the need to change ports or add a proxy, you can create an .ini file and edit it

Change to your non-root user and execute the following in your teamspeak directory

su teamspeak -s /bin/sh 
./ts3server createinifile=1

You can also create a white- and blacklist to prevent users from joining

vi query_ip_whitelist.txt

#example
127.0.0.1
::1
192.168.0.0/16

vi query_ip_blacklist.txt

#example
127.0.0.1
::1
192.168.0.0/16

Finalize the Setup

Change to your non-root user, accept the license and start the server for the first time

su teamspeak -s /bin/sh 
touch .ts3server_license_accepted 
./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh

Keep the window open and login to your server with the client

The login details are shown in your CLI, also the “ServerAdmin privilege key” which you need to enter.

If you were logged in, stop the server via strg + c

Create Service

Create a new unit “/etc/systemd/system/teamspeak.service” with the following content

[Unit]
Description=TeamSpeak3 Server
Wants=network-online.target
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/
User=teamspeak
Type=forking
ExecStart=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start initfile=ts3server.ini
ExecStop=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
ExecReload=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh restart
PIDFile=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.pid
   
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Incase you already had this file and/or changed anything, run “systemctl daemon-reload” to reload the units

Add the service to autostart

systemctl enable teamspeak

You can now start/stop/restart and see the status of the service via the following commands

systemctl start teamspeak
systemctl stop teamspeak
systemctl restart teamspeak
systemctl status teamspeak

Troubleshooting

failed to register local accounting service: File exists

The server doesnt start and the log shows the following error

failed to register local accounting service: File exists

Reason:
A file was created by root and cant be used by your non-root user

Fix:
Check for a cryptic file in /dev/shm/

ls -al /dev/shm/
total 39228
drwxrwxrwt  2 root      root        1800 Dez  5 11:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root      root        3640 Nov 13 06:47 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root      root         128 Dez  5 11:41 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8
and remove it
rm /dev/shm/7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8

If you start teamspeak now, the file will be created with the correct user

ls -al /dev/shm/        
total 39228
drwxrwxrwt  2 root      root         1800 Dez  5 12:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root      root         3640 Nov 13 06:47 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 teamspeak teamspeak     128 Dez  5 12:10 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8

Failed loading default license file

The server doesnt start and the log shows the following error

|CRITICAL|Accounting    |   |Failed loading default license file!

Reason:
Your license expired

Fix:
Update your Teamspeakserver to renew the license

Get the server package downloadlink from either the website or directly from the fileserver

https://www.teamspeak.com/de/downloads/#server
https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/

Change to your directory and download the package

cd /teamspeak
wget <URL>

Backup your old folder in case something is broken after overwriting

cp -a teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64 teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64_bak_20211124

Unpack (overwrite the existing folder)

tar -xvf <PACKAGE>

and start as usual

systemctl start teamspeak
