9 Here is a quick guide for setting up a `Teamspeak 3`_ server on Ubuntu 14.04.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
10
|
|
bgneal@19
|
11 First you need to obtain the latest version of the Teamspeak 3 server software.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
12 You can see what they have available on the `Teamspeak downloads page`_. At the
|
|
bgneal@19
|
13 time of this writing, the server software is found on a "server" tab. You'll
|
|
bgneal@19
|
14 want to pick either the 32 or 64-bit version depending on your Ubuntu
|
|
bgneal@19
|
15 installation. You can either download the package to your local computer and
|
|
bgneal@19
|
16 copy it to your server, or get it directly from your server. I used this
|
|
bgneal@19
|
17 command on my server::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
18
|
|
bgneal@19
|
19 $ wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.11.4/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.11.4.tar.gz
|
|
bgneal@19
|
20
|
|
bgneal@19
|
21 You can poke around on the downloads page using a web browser to find the URL
|
|
bgneal@19
|
22 for the latest verison by visiting http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
23
|
|
bgneal@19
|
24 Next, unpack the archive file::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
25
|
|
bgneal@19
|
26 $ tar xvfz teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.11.4.tar.gz
|
|
bgneal@19
|
27
|
|
bgneal@19
|
28 A good place to install it is `/usr/local/`, so let's do that::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
29
|
|
bgneal@19
|
30 $ sudo mv teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 /usr/local/teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
31
|
|
bgneal@19
|
32 It's a very good idea to create a new user to run the Teamspeak service. We'll
|
|
bgneal@19
|
33 create a system user called ``teamspeak`` that can't login with this command::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
34
|
|
bgneal@19
|
35 $ sudo adduser --system --group --disabled-login --no-create-home teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
36
|
|
bgneal@19
|
37 Now we'll ensure this new user owns all the files::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
38
|
|
bgneal@19
|
39 $ sudo chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /usr/local/teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
40
|
|
bgneal@19
|
41 Next we'll create the infrastructure needed to launch the Teamspeak service on
|
|
bgneal@19
|
42 server startup. The server files we downloaded include a suitable startup
|
|
bgneal@19
|
43 script already. We'll just have to make sure our new ``teamspeak`` user runs this
|
|
bgneal@19
|
44 script. Use your favorite editor to create a new file::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
45
|
|
bgneal@19
|
46 $ sudo vi /etc/init.d/teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
47
|
|
bgneal@19
|
48 This new file will simply ``sudo`` to the new ``teamspeak`` user and then run the
|
|
bgneal@19
|
49 startup script. Your new ``/etc/init.d/teamspeak`` file should contain the
|
|
bgneal@19
|
50 following::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
51
|
|
bgneal@19
|
52 #!/bin/sh
|
|
bgneal@19
|
53 sudo --user=teamspeak /usr/local/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh $@
|
|
bgneal@19
|
54
|
|
bgneal@19
|
55 Notice the trailing ``$@``. This is important for forwarding the usual arguments
|
|
bgneal@19
|
56 like ``stop``, ``start``, and ``restart`` to the Teamspeak script.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
57
|
|
bgneal@19
|
58 Now we'll finish the process of ensuring our script can be run at server
|
|
bgneal@19
|
59 startup and shutdown::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
60
|
|
bgneal@19
|
61 $ sudo chmod u+x /etc/init.d/teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
62 $ sudo update-rc.d teamspeak defaults
|
|
bgneal@19
|
63
|
|
bgneal@19
|
64 Now we can run the Teamspeak service for the very first time::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
65
|
|
bgneal@19
|
66 $ sudo service teamspeak start
|
|
bgneal@19
|
67
|
|
bgneal@19
|
68 You should see some console output, including a long string of the form
|
|
bgneal@19
|
69 ``token=blahblahblah``. Make sure you copy the text after the ``token=`` part.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
70 This magic string will allow you to obtain server admin privileges the first
|
|
bgneal@19
|
71 time you connect to your server with a Teamspeak client. See this `article`_
|
|
bgneal@19
|
72 for more information.
|
|
bgneal@19
|
73
|
|
bgneal@19
|
74 Finally, if you are running a firewall, you'll have to open some ports
|
|
bgneal@19
|
75 before you can connect with your client. You should refer to the Teamspeak
|
|
bgneal@19
|
76 article "`Which ports does the Teamspeak 3 server use?`_". At the
|
|
bgneal@19
|
77 time of this writing, I used the following rules for `iptables`_::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
78
|
|
bgneal@19
|
79 # Allow ports for Teamspeak3
|
|
bgneal@19
|
80 -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9987 -j ACCEPT
|
|
bgneal@19
|
81 -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 30033 -j ACCEPT
|
|
bgneal@19
|
82 -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10011 -j ACCEPT
|
|
bgneal@19
|
83 -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 41144 -j ACCEPT
|
|
bgneal@19
|
84
|
|
bgneal@19
|
85 If you use `ufw`_ to manage your firewall, I think the following commands will
|
|
bgneal@19
|
86 suffice::
|
|
bgneal@19
|
87
|
|
bgneal@19
|
88 $ sudo ufw allow 9987/udp
|
|
bgneal@19
|
89 $ sudo ufw allow 30033/tcp
|
|
bgneal@19
|
90 $ sudo ufw allow 10011/tcp
|
|
bgneal@19
|
91 $ sudo ufw allow 41144/tcp
|
|
bgneal@19
|
92
|
|
bgneal@19
|
93 Enjoy your new Teamspeak 3 server!
