Howto install TeamSpeak 3 server on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

May 15, 2010

It has been a long time since my last post – I’m sorry for that but I didn’t have the time. Anyway I just installed TeamSpeak 3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 for a friend and

want to share that info. Getting TeamSpeak running is mostly not the problem but you don’t want to start it after every boot by hand or run it as root. This Howto

shows what I did. I assume that all user actions shown in this howto are performed as root or after executing sudo bash.

First you need to create a user under which the TeamSpeak server should run by executing following command:

adduser --disabled-login teamspeak

Now we need to get the software (64bit in my case)

wget http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/beta-22/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.0-beta22.tar.gz (Take also a look if

a new version is out when you install your server)

and extract it

tar xzf teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.0-beta22.tar.gz

We move it to a nice place with

mv teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 /opt/ts3

and give it to the user teamspeak

chown -R teamspeak /opt/ts3

If you take a look into the /opt/ts3 directory you’ll see that there is a already a start/stop script (ts3server_startscript.sh), we will utilize it. Create a init.d

file with pasting the content after executing cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak :

#! /bin/sh### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: teamspeak# Required-Start: networking# Required-Stop:# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6# Short-Description: TeamSpeak Server Daemon# Description: Starts/Stops/Restarts the TeamSpeak Server Daemon### END INIT INFO

set -e

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/binDESC="TeamSpeak Server"NAME=teamspeakUSER=teamspeakDIR=/opt/ts3DAEMON=$DIR/ts3server_startscript.sh#PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pidSCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME

# Gracefully exit if the package has been removed.test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

cd $DIRsudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh $1

Now press ENTER and CTRL-D and you’ve inserted the content into the file. Set the permission correctly with

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/teamspeak

and now you can try it out by calling

/etc/init.d/teamspeak start

Take note of the login and token as you will need them later. You can also look for them in the log files in /opt/ts3/logs/. The last thing you need to do now is to

make sure the init script is executed at boot time by using following command:

update-rc.d teamspeak defaults

At last if you’ve a firewall running on your system you need to make sure that you open all your ports. To find out which ports are used by teamspeak use following


http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/



command:

# netstat -lnp | grep ts3tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10011 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30232/ts3server_lintcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:30033 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30232/ts3server_linudp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9987 0.0.0.0:* 30232/ts3server_lin

I hope this howto helped someone and write a comment if you found an error or a better way to do something. Now you just need to point your TeamSpeak client to

the server and go to the menu entry “permissions | use token” and copy and past the token from above into the edit box. (only insert the chars behind “token=”)

1. I was able to get the server up following your tutorial, but I did run into a few problems.

First, how do I find out the public ip for the server? I can connect to it locally, but do not have a solution for others to connect to it. (It’s running on a netbook

via wireless if it matters)

Second, I never got the login / token, in the log file it tells me account it limited and or no licences.

3. 1. Open a browser on the netbook and go to following url: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ But if you’ve a NAT router between it and the Internet you need to

forward the ports.

netstat -lnp | grep ts3 tells you whichs ports you need to forward on your NAT router.

2. Look at the oldest file in /opt/ts3/logs/ it should be in there.

3. About the license take a look at : http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=faq&cat=ts3&rate=186#ts3_license_models

Comment by robert — May 31, 2010 #

4. hi, i followed your how-to precisely.

but the server won’t startup automaticly on startup.

executing /etc/init.d/teamspeak start

works fine and start/stop links are created in rc0.d – rc6.d

can’t find any error-message in dmesg

got any idea where i make a misstake?

Comment by Sascha — June 7, 2010 #

5. Why should there be any entry in dmesg? Dmesg is only for kernel messages. /var/log/syslog is normally used for programs but teamspeak uses its own logging

files in /opt/ts3/logs/

6. hello again,

i deleted old logs, rebooted and ‘less /opt/ts3/log/…’ looks like everything is fine. trying to connect to the server works at last. i have no idea what deleting old

logs has to do with starting up the service, but i don’t care any longer

tnx for your advice and ,of cause, for this tutorial!

Comment by Sascha — June 9, 2010 #

7. I never really leave comments, but I had to leave a thank you, in this case. Tremendously helpful.

Comment by Adam — July 17, 2010 #

8. Thank you for this clear and fresh tutorial. My TS3 test server was up quickly.

Comment by mumbly — August 30, 2010 #

9. HI,

I’ve tried everything you’ve said, and i’ve got :

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:30033 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 14780/ts3server_lin

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10011 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 14780/ts3server_lin

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9987 0.0.0.0:* 14780/ts3server_lin

But i can’t connect at all. Any idea ?

Comment by Gael — October 28, 2010 #

10. That looks good, do you’ve a firewall running?

You can check if there is any traffic going to a port by using this command

tcpdump -n -i eth0 port 30033 (or the other ports) .. if you don’t see anything when the clients tries to connect there is someone filtering between clients and

server. eth0 is the interface you’re using, can also be something like venet0 or bond0 depending on your server setup. check with ifconfig.

Comment by robert — October 29, 2010 #

11. Hello… I have the same problem as Gael, I did try the tcpdump as root on port 30033… and i can see people trying to access it… but does not connect.

Any suggestions?

Comment by Edwin — November 24, 2010 #

12. hmm, your server has a global IP address and you’re not trying it behind a NAT router?

ps: Any entries in the TeamSpeak log files?

Comment by robert — November 28, 2010 #

13. Hey, I’m having the same problem as Ryan (first comment above). The server runs fine when I execute /etc/init.d/teamspeak start. However, during startup, theserver will shut itself down in exactly 5 minutes. I’ve opened all the necessary ports. Here is an example of the log:


2010-10-30 20:48:00.534200|INFO |DatabaseQuery | | dbPlugin name: SQLite3 plugin, Version 2, (c)TeamSpeak Systems GmbH

Might it have something to do with the order of starting up? Maybe this daemon starts up before a necessary networking daemon? Help please! Thanks.

Comment by Ray — January 4, 2011 #

14. hmmm .. the log entry TS3ANetwork::ResolveHostName failed error: -2 (Name or service not known) seems to tell us that the system is not able to resolve the

name of some host. If that resolution is possible if you login in and start it by hand you seem to be right with your guess.

I wrote that Howto for the latest LTS Version (10.04) .. are you trying it with 10.10?

Is your server connected via Ethernet to the Internet or do you need to open a ppp connection or something like this? If you have something like this you need

to make sure the server is started after the ppp connection is established.

In the standard ethernet case, I would first try to set it back in the runlevel stuff:

update-rc.d -f teamspeak remove

update-rc.d teamspeak defaults 99

If that doesn’t work. I would try following hack


and

add to /etc/rc.local

sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh restart (or maybe start, did not check if restart works also when no prior process is running)

Comment by robert — January 4, 2011 #

15. Hi Robert, thanks for the very prompt response.

Executing



fixed the problem right away!

I’ve had this problem for a while and I’ve been searching everywhere for the solution. Thanks for the tutorial and for the help! Appreciate it.

Comment by Ray — January 4, 2011 #

16. dont be ridiculous with the difficult installation anymore, it is enough just to write “sudo apt-get install teamspeak-server” since 10.10 release…

Comment by kutus — January 27, 2011 #

17. Ah, sorry, it is valid just for ts2 version only… ts3 version has not been added to repositary files yet

Comment by kutus — January 27, 2011 #

18. Hej

I followed uour guide and everything works fine while im on my LAN. Connecting externally is not working so good. Tried a tcpdump -n -i wlan0 port 9987

and the traffic goes through when i try to connect but the client still said “failed to connect to server” Im running it on Ubuntu 10.10.

Any Ideas?

Thanks for a good guide!

Comment by martin — February 8, 2011 #

19. Newer tried teamspeak over a NAT/PAT. I don’t know if the protocol supports that – ask the teamspeak guys. Make your linux system the DSL/Cable router

and try it again if it does not work with a NAT/PAT.

Comment by robert — February 9, 2011 #

20. hi, I vant try to do this under NAT, how I can do?

Comment by mario — February 19, 2011 #

21. sorry, I’ve no idea. My server has a worldwide ip address.

22. Hi Robert,

Thank you for this tutorial. My TS3 server was up quickly and worked fine. Now I am using a wifi connection and I have the same problem than Ray. It works

only 5 mn with same log file.

I am using this file for lunching the wifi when starting the computer :

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

mapping hotplug

script grep

map wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wireless-essid mystique

wireless-key akeythatislongenoughtonotrememberit

auto wlan0

I tried without sucess your two ideas:



and


add to /etc/rc.local

sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh restart (and start).

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Comment by burnout — February 21, 2011 #

23. Ray had the problem that it did not start automatically. Your problem is that it only runs for 5min? Can you describe the error a little bit closer. thx.

ps: wireless-key is only WEP? If so that is brocken within 2min … use only WPA2 forget everthing else.


24. Sorry to be not clear robert,

here is the log file when I start TS3 in manually using /etc/init.d/teamspeak start:











And this is the log file after the computer start:











2011-02-28 18:38:34.958169|DEVELOP | | | TS3ANetwork::Connect failed error: 22

2011-02-28 18:38:34.958267|ERROR | | | Could not open default UDP connection for weblist











2011-02-28 18:41:24.140815|INFO |ServerMain | | Received signal SIGTERM, shutting down.

2011-02-28 18:41:24.297854|INFO |VirtualServer | 1| stopped

What I understand is that my wifi connect take few seconds at computer startup and TS3 should have started before any network connection.

I am using unbuntu 10.10. But it work with a manual start.

thanks to take care of my problem.


25. ps: wireless-key is not only WEP. I am using WAP2. I have checked on some website before choosing and all recommand as you do WAP2.


26. If TeamSpeak starts before your wifi, thats the problem. You need to start TeamSpeak after you’ve gotten your wifi IP address.

you could do following hack. make a small shell script which checks if teampeak is running and if not it starts it. put that into cron and let it check every 5 min.

an other possibility is to but the script into /etc/network/if-up.d/ and filter there on the wifi device.

Comment by robert — March 13, 2011 #

27. Hello! Thank you Robert, for this awesome tutorial.. But I was wondering.. Can you make a un-install tutorial too? Or an update procedure (if un-install is not

needed to update)..?! I think I’m using Ubuntu 10.10, but I’m not sure.. But it works great anyhow..

Comment by Ivan S. — March 22, 2011 #

28. D A N K E !

Comment by es_age — March 27, 2011 #

29. GREAT guide! when I followed it to the letter, it worked wonderfully. and by the way, yes, it has that 5 minute shutdown problem, but that code you

mentioned later DOES solve the problem:



There is but one problem I am having. The server booted up just fine, and I was able to connect. The server gave me a server admin token to use, so i pasted it

on the “use privelege key” option. now I’m a server admin. In theory, I should have ultimate power, right?

Well that’s not exactly the case. When I go into permissions >> server groups, and attempt to change Guest’s permissions (let’s try something simple like

allowing them to send text messages to the channel). I get an error that says “Not all permissions could be applied”, and the server console says “insufficient

permission modify power”. nothing shows up in the log file about it. I’ve been having problems like this since 10.04, and up until now I’ve just been giving up on

it. any forum I’ve googled about it so far mentions having to edit a database file with some other program for permissions… That seems asinine to me, which

means I’ve done something wrong somewhere and didn’t know it lol. have any of you had this problem? is it something easy to fix?

Comment by hylianux — May 20, 2011 #

30. you have served as my “let me ask an expert so that suddenly fate will deliver the answer to me making me look stupid before they can answer!”

I just found the answer on teamspeak’s forum >> http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php/46779-HowTo-%28Set-up-TS3-and%29-Server-Permissions-100

short story long, that login/password thing you get in the beginning needs to be run with the serverquery.

for anyone else having the issue, when the server first boots up, it’ll give you this username: serveradmin password:

after making yourself an admin using the token earlier, you press ctrl+shift+v and type in

login serveradmin ‘password without quotes’

use sid=1

servergroupaddclient sgid=2 cldbid=2

magic… hope this helps others too, and thanks again for this guide.


31. ah, it doesn’t like those arrows.

this sentence should read:

for anyone else having the issue, when the server first boots up, it’ll give you this username: serveradmin password:’some random alphanumeric generation’

sorry for the triple post ><


32. Thanks for the great guide.

It worked straight away for me (about a year ago).

My clients are now getting an error msg about the server being outdated.

Can you please tell me how to upgrade without loosing all my chanels and icons?

Thanks in advance.

Comment by Sparky — May 23, 2011 #

33. I still need a way to update my server.. How do I kill the TS3 server program so I can extract the new archive (new TS3 version is out)..? It’s in /opt/ts3, right?

Comment by Ivan S. — May 30, 2011 #

34. type “ps aux | grep ts3″ and take the second number and type “kill -9 secondnumber” and yes /opt/ts3


35. When I enter update-rc.d teamspeak defaults as per your instructions I get this: update-rc.d: warning: teamspeak stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match

LSB Default-Stop values (S 0 1 6) It seems to work, but what does this warning mean?

Comment by Antonio — June 15, 2011 #

36. I just updated the server to a new version. its really easy:

#get the file

wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/rc1/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.0-rc1.tar.gz

# make a backup

cp -a /opt/ts3 /opt/ts3_old_28

# stop the server with

/etc/init.d/teamspeak stop

# copy the files from the tar file into the /opt/ts3 directory

# start the server

/etc/init.d/teamspeak start

# take a look at the newest log file in

/opt/ts3/logs/


37. @Antonio: LSB is the Linux Standard Base which writes some guidelines down to make all distribution similar. And the warning just shows that the defaults of

Ubuntu are not the default for LSB. Just ignore it


38. Thanks for additional explanation/clarification and a very helpful tutorial in the first place! It works perfectly on Ubuntu 10.10 headless server connected to the

internet with Cisco cable modem and a Linksys WRT54GL router with DD-WRT firmware!

Comment by Antonio — June 16, 2011 #

39. very good manual, ran it on 11.04 and got it working.

dit have the same problem as many here with a router, but the onw thing i did think of later was i also have a firewall running (UFW)

added :

ufw enable

ufw default deny

ufw allow 9987/udp

ufw allow 10011/tcp

ufw allow 30033/tcp

(remember add you home network also)








http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/rc1/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.0-rc1.tar.gz








now it works like a charm.

Comment by tonny — June 27, 2011 #

40. So I followed it exactly, everything looks like it’s working, But, I can join to it Locally but people cant’ join it. Firewalls set up, nothings bouncing off, is there a

way i can tell it somewhere to read from an INI file??? maybe in /etc/init.d/teamspeak??? cause i’ve heard that when the ip reads as 0.0.0.0 sometimes people

have problems connecting

Comment by Aaron — July 6, 2011 #

41. Please can you indicate up to where should the info go into the teamspeak file that goes into the init.d folder

Comment by Barry — September 1, 2011 #

Comment by robert — September 2, 2011 #

43. This post is brilliant mate

Thumbs up

Comment by raholl — September 8, 2011 #

44. Robert,

Great post. I am using the init script you wrote and it is working well. One issue I had though, was that the server would not start on boot up. I traced it back to

the sudo command not having the ability to run without a tty terminal. I needed to add a line to my sudoers file “Defaults:root !requiretty”. Once that was added

the script would start up. I knew this was required as the console was giving an error that sudo needed a tty terminal to run.

My question though, is the service does not seem to shut down properly on reboot. I do not see any errors on the terminal, but when the system boots up I am

told the pid already existed, meaning the service was terminated and not shut down properly. Do you have any ideas?

50. Make sure that the Mysql is started before Teamspeak is. e.g. by defining an dependency.

51. Still works great on Ubuntu 12. If you are brand new to Linux as I was, here are a couple things that would have saved me a little frustration and a lot of time:

Connect to your server using SSH! Install OpenSSH when you install Ubuntu, or add it if you didn’t. The ability to copy and paste into the Ubuntu console

from a Windows machine is super-useful. Please find and follow a guide to setting up SSH securely if you decide to use it.

Also, as another commenter mentioned, the grammar surrounding the init.d script instructions can be confusing for Linux newbies, especially those not familiar

with the ‘cat’ (concatenate) command. Cat is primarily intended to merge the content of multiple files into one, but it is used here as a relatively simple way to

create a new file and add startup code to it. Once I understood what ‘cat’ does and how it is being used here, the whole thing made perfect sense. For those

who may still be having trouble, try reading that possibly-confusing sentence this way:









http://none/


http://www.d4m1r.com/








“Create an init.d file by pasting the following content, after executing this command: cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak”

Now, if you’re a super-newbie like I was, here’s the Super Duper Micromanager’s Hand-Holding Edition with new improved formula and 25% extra

explaining! This assumes you’ve followed the guide up through changing permissions for the teamspeak user and are now stuck setting up the init.d script:

1: Type cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak into the console and hit ENTER. The console will advance one row and display a blank line with cursor. Basically, we have

just told cat to create a blank file called ‘teamspeak’ in the init.d directory. If the file already existed, cat would use the existing file.

2: Now copy the OP’s init.d code from above, starting with #! /bin/sh. Paste it into the linux console. The pasted text appears on screen. Once you are sure all

the code is there and correct, hit ENTER. We have just pasted the code into to the teamspeak file that was created.

3. Now hit Ctrl-D. This will close cat and return us to the prompt. The startup script is created and saved. Move to the next step.

Note: I don’t mean to insult the OP on his very own blog by rewriting instructions and fixing grammar!. I only hope to save someone the same frustration I

experienced by providing this “for dummies” version of the init.d step, which I initially found to be confusing. Best of luck!

52. Grammar fixing is no problem, as English is not my native language.

53. Extremely new to linux so bear with me please. I followed the guide here and I can call on the server using the /etc/init.d/teamspeak start command but when I

restart it doesn’t seem to auto start the server. Any help would for thew newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

54. Take a look at comment 14 … it maybe helps you. The other possibility is that Teamspeak is trying to start and it doesn’t work, for this look into the

teamspeak logs.

55. Thank you very much for this guide. Worked perfectly for me!

56. Hi, I followed this guide and everything works perfectly. You might want to address the issue that if you have a TS license, you also have to allow port 2008

(TCP) in your firewall. If you don’t, TeamSpeak will not start – the log will simply log that it cannot connect to the accounting server and the process will

terminate. You only have to allow port 2008 for accounting.teamspeak.com.

57. Awesome write-up! I had this working on my server in under 5 minutes.

This line is a little confusing though:

“If you take a look into the /opt/ts3 directory you’ll see that there is a already a start/stop script (ts3server_startscript.sh), we will utilize it. Create a init.d file

with pasting the content after executing cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak ”

The first time I read that I assumed I was to paste in the text from ts3server_startscript.sh

58. I’ve followed exactly up to this part.

cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak

but I get this error:

-bash: /etc/init.d/teamspeak: Permission denied

Thoughts?

59. you need to do this as superuser … sudo cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak

or sudo bash before to set the whole shell in superuser mode

Comment by robert — October 22, 2012 #

60. Thanks Robert!

This worked for me.

sudo bash

ENTER















sudo cat > /etc/init.d/teamspeak

ENTER

(copy & paste code)

Ctrl+D
