Installing Teamspeak On Ubuntu 14.04 Server

TeamSpeak is a voice chat server. Featuring clients for most major platforms, crystal clear voice calls, low latency, and encryption, TeamSpeak is a great choice for use cases ranging from business meetings to gaming. If you’d like to launch a TeamSpeak server of your own, Ubuntu 14.04 with its long support cycle is an excellent platform to use. This guide will get you running with a TeamSpeak server running under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Getting Started

Confirm that you have the following before you follow this guide:
• 1 Node (Cloud Server or Dedicated Server) running Ubuntu 14.
• Root access to the node or one sudo non-root user
• A TeamSpeak client on your platform of choice in order to test things out.

How To: (Tutorial)

Start by running these commands on your Ubuntu 14.04 server. These commands will automatically get the latest update for your server.

Code:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

Ubuntu should include the nano, wget, perl and bzip2 binaries, but if they aren’t included then you’ll need to install the necessary packages.

Code:
apt-get install nano wget tar perl bzip2

We’ll now create a user for the TeamSpeak server to run under. Creating a separate user minimizes the extent to which a TeamSpeak security issue can compromise your server. If TeamSpeak was running as root, a security flaw in TeamSpeak could grant someone root access and let them install or change whatever they wish.

Code:
adduser --disabled-login teamspeak

You can leave the fields blank when prompted for information. Simply press “y” when asked to confirm the values you’ve set.
Now we’ll download and set up the TeamSpeak server itself.

Code:
wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.12.4/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.12.4.tar.bz2

OR newer version updated below!

wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.2.0/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.2.0.tar.bz2

tar xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.12.4.tar.bz2

cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64

cp * -R /home/teamspeak

cd ..

rm -rf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64*

chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /home/teamspeak

TeamSpeak does not ship with its own startup script. We’ll create our own so it can be managed in Ubuntu’s init system.

Code:
ln -s /home/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh /etc/init.d/teamspeak

 update-rc.d teamspeak defaults

With the script in place, it must now be linked into /etc/init.d, where Ubuntu expects to find all of its startup scripts.
Let’s next run the startup script so the server is launched.

Code:
service teamspeak start

Pay attention to the startup messages displayed when the server launches. You will be given the necessary credentials to manage the new server, so be sure to record them in a safe place.
Press Enter to return to the shell prompt.

Check if your server is running by typing this command:

Code:
service teamspeak status

Server is running

If you’ve set up iptables on your Ubuntu server, you’ll need to open some ports for the TeamSpeak server. Here are the necessary iptables commands so your server can be reached from the outside.

Code:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9987 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 9987 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 30033 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 30033 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10011 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 10011 -j ACCEPT

Here are the TeamSpeak service ports:

9987 UDP : TeamSpeak Voice service
10011 TCP : TeamSpeak ServerQuery
30033 TCP : TeamSpeak FileTransfer

If you’re using the iptables-services package to manage your iptables chains, here is a set of rules that can be added to its configuration to open up the firewall for TeamSpeak.

Code:
-A INPUT -p udp --dport 9987 -j ACCEPT

 -A INPUT -p udp --sport 9987 -j ACCEPT

 -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 30033 -j ACCEPT

 -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 30033 -j ACCEPT

 -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10011 -j ACCEPT

 -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 10011 -j ACCEPT

It is now necessary to administer the TeamSpeak server itself. On first launch, you were given an administrative token, along with credentials for a superuser account.

Code:
service teamspeak start

Starting the TeamSpeak 3 server
TeamSpeak 3 server started, for details please view the log file

Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------

 I M P O R T A N T

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 Server Query Admin Account created

 loginname= "serveradmin", password= "*********"

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 I M P O R T A N T

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 ServerAdmin privilege key created, please use it to gain

 serveradmin rights for your virtualserver. please

 also check the doc/privilegekey_guide.txt for details.

 token=*************************************************

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

The token is what must be pasted into your TeamSpeak client. Do so now.
If the token is copied successfully, you’ll see the message “Privilege Key successfully used.” Your client now has administrative rights on the new TeamSpeak server.

The Wrap-Up

You are now ready to host clear, high-quality voice chats on your newly-configured TeamSpeak server. If you’ve found this article helpful and know someone else who might benefit, be sure to share it with them so they too can launch their very own system for hosting voice chats.

If you found this article helpful, feel free to share it with your friends and let us know in the comments below!

Please set the environment variable TS3SERVER_LICENSE to "accept" in order to accept the license agreement.
Alternatively, create a file named ".ts3server_license_accepted" in the working directory or start the server with the command line parameter "license_accepted=1".
To view the license agreement set TS3SERVER_LICENSE to "view" in order to print the license to the console.
Alternatively view the file "LICENSE" in your favorite text viewer yourself.

How to accept the server license agreement (Server >= 3.1.0)
With the release of TeamSpeak 3 server version 3.1.0 it is required that you agree to our license. This license can be found in the file "license.txt" or "LICENSE" (depending on your platform), which is located
in the same location as the ts3server binary (the main folder). Note that on Unix platforms you can also view the license by starting the TeamSpeak 3 server with the environment variable TS3SERVER_LICENSE set to "view".

You can accept the license in one of three ways:

Create an empty file called ".ts3server_license_accepted" in the current working directory. For example on Unix like systems do:
touch .ts3server_license_accepted
Start the ts3server with the commandline parameter "license_accepted" set to 1. For example:
ts3server license_accepted=1
Set the OS environment variable TS3SERVER_LICENSE to "accept" prior to starting the server. For example on Windows:
set TS3SERVER_LICENSE=accept
