At the +time of this writing, the server software is found on a "server" tab. You'll +want to pick either the 32 or 64-bit version depending on your Ubuntu +installation. You can either download the package to your local computer and +copy it to your server, or get it directly from your server. I used this +command on my server:: + + $ wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.11.4/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.11.4.tar.gz + +You can poke around on the downloads page using a web browser to find the URL +for the latest verison by visiting http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/. + +Next, unpack the archive file:: + + $ tar xvfz teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.11.4.tar.gz + +A good place to install it is `/usr/local/`, so let's do that:: + + $ sudo mv teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 /usr/local/teamspeak + +It's a very good idea to create a new user to run the Teamspeak service. We'll +create a system user called ``teamspeak`` that can't login with this command:: + + $ sudo adduser --system --group --disabled-login --no-create-home teamspeak + +Now we'll ensure this new user owns all the files:: + + $ sudo chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /usr/local/teamspeak + +Next we'll create the infrastructure needed to launch the Teamspeak service on +server startup. The server files we downloaded include a suitable startup +script already. We'll just have to make sure our new ``teamspeak`` user runs this +script. Use your favorite editor to create a new file:: + + $ sudo vi /etc/init.d/teamspeak + +This new file will simply ``sudo`` to the new ``teamspeak`` user and then run the +startup script. Your new ``/etc/init.d/teamspeak`` file should contain the +following:: + + #!/bin/sh + sudo --user=teamspeak /usr/local/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh $@ + +Notice the trailing ``$@``. This is important for forwarding the usual arguments +like ``stop``, ``start``, and ``restart`` to the Teamspeak script. + +Now we'll finish the process of ensuring our script can be run at server +startup and shutdown:: + + $ sudo chmod u+x /etc/init.d/teamspeak + $ sudo update-rc.d teamspeak defaults + +Now we can run the Teamspeak service for the very first time:: + + $ sudo service teamspeak start + +You should see some console output, including a long string of the form +``token=blahblahblah``. Make sure you copy the text after the ``token=`` part. +This magic string will allow you to obtain server admin privileges the first +time you connect to your server with a Teamspeak client. See this `article`_ +for more information. + +Finally, if you are running a firewall, you'll have to open some ports +before you can connect with your client. You should refer to the Teamspeak +article "`Which ports does the Teamspeak 3 server use?`_". At the +time of this writing, I used the following rules for `iptables`_:: + + # Allow ports for Teamspeak3 + -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9987 -j ACCEPT + -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 30033 -j ACCEPT + -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10011 -j ACCEPT + -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 41144 -j ACCEPT + +If you use `ufw`_ to manage your firewall, I think the following commands will +suffice:: + + $ sudo ufw allow 9987/udp + $ sudo ufw allow 30033/tcp + $ sudo ufw allow 10011/tcp + $ sudo ufw allow 41144/tcp + +Enjoy your new Teamspeak 3 server! + +.. _Teamspeak 3: http://www.teamspeak.com/ +.. _Teamspeak downloads page: http://www.teamspeak.com/downloads +.. _article: https://support.teamspeakusa.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/40/0/how-do-i-make-myself-and-then-someone-else-a-server-admin +.. _Which ports does the Teamspeak 3 server use?: https://support.teamspeakusa.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/44/16/which-ports-does-the-teamspeak-3-server-use +.. _iptables: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo +.. _ufw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
