TeamSpeak

From Wikipedia:TeamSpeak:

TeamSpeak is proprietary Voice over IP software that allows computer users to speak on a chat channel with fellow computer users, much like a telephone conference call.

Installation

Client

Install the teamspeak3 package.

Server

Install the teamspeak3-server package.

Server configuration and startup

Configuration

• You can configure the TeamSpeak server. If you are using systemd please check /usr/share/doc/teamspeak3-server/doc/server_quickstart.txt for all available command line parameters.

• If you possess a license file please copy it to /var/lib/teamspeak3-server/licensekey.dat.

First startup

With the first startup TeamSpeak creates the SQLite database at /var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb and starts logging its standard output in files in: /var/log/teamspeak3-server/. Teamspeak also creates the first ServerQuery administration account (the superuser) and the first virtual server including a privilege key for the server administrator of this virtual server. The privilege key is only displayed once on standard output.

• Start teamspeak3-server.service.

• To find the privilege key:

$ systemctl status teamspeak3-server

• Scan the output for the privilege key:

Example output:

• The privilege key is what token is equal to.

• Alternatively, you can navigate to the logs directory for teamspeak3-server and read the output log directly. (This is a persistent file and will still have the first startup output here even if you have restarted the server):

Note: You have to be have either be logged in as root or as the teamspeak user to access this directory!

$ cd /var/log/teamspeak3-server
$ cat ts3server_*.log

Open up a Teamspeak 3 client, connect to the server and copy and paste the privilege key into the client popup.

Regular startup

Enable teamspeak3-server.service.

Re-Initialising Teamspeak

If you have used the initial privilege key and have lost server permissions (e.g. your teamspeak 3 client with superadmin rights was uninstalled) you will have to start from scratch.

Warning: These steps delete your current configured TeamSpeak servers, your users, permissions and all settings.

• Stop teamspeak3-server.service.

• Remove /var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb:

$ rm /var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb

• Clear /var/log/teamspeak3-server/:

$ rm /var/log/teamspeak3-server/*.log

• Now follow the same instructions for a first time setup.

Starting Teamspeak with disabled IPv6 stack

When booting your system with the ipv6.disable=1 kernel parameter to disable the IPv6 stack, Teamspeak will not be able to start with the default configuration. Edit /etc/teamspeak3-server.ini to change the listening IPs.

/etc/teamspeak3-server.ini

# query_ip=0.0.0.0, ::
query_ip=0.0.0.0
