====== Teamspeak3 ======

===== Installation =====

Create a directory
<code>mkdir /teamspeak</code>

and a non-root user
<code>adduser teamspeak --system --home /teamspeak --disabled-login</code>

Get the server package downloadlink from either the website or directly from the fileserver
<code>
https://www.teamspeak.com/de/downloads/#server
https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/</code>

Change to your directory and download the package
<code>
cd /teamspeak
wget <URL>
</code>

Unpack
<code>
tar -xjf <PACKAGE>
</code>

Change the owner of the files to your user
<code>chown -R teamspeak /teamspeak/ </code>

===== Configuration =====

If you feel the need to change ports or add a proxy, you can create an .ini file and edit it

Change to your non-root user and execute the following in your teamspeak directory
<code>
su teamspeak -s /bin/sh 
./ts3server createinifile=1
</code>

You can also create a white- and blacklist to prevent users from joining

<code>
vi query_ip_whitelist.txt

#example
127.0.0.1
::1
192.168.0.0/16
</code>

<code>
vi query_ip_blacklist.txt

#example
127.0.0.1
::1
192.168.0.0/16
</code>

===== Finalize the Setup =====

Change to your non-root user, accept the license and start the server for the first time
<code>
su teamspeak -s /bin/sh 
touch .ts3server_license_accepted 
./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh
</code>

Keep the window open and login to your server with the client

The login details are shown in your CLI, also the "ServerAdmin privilege key" which you need to enter.

If you were logged in, stop the server via strg + c

===== Create Service =====

Create a new unit "/etc/systemd/system/teamspeak.service" with the following content
<code>
[Unit]
Description=TeamSpeak3 Server
Wants=network-online.target
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/
User=teamspeak
Type=forking
ExecStart=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start initfile=ts3server.ini
ExecStop=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
ExecReload=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh restart
PIDFile=/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.pid
   
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</code>

Incase you already had this file and/or changed anything, run "systemctl daemon-reload" to reload the units

Add the service to autostart
<code>
systemctl enable teamspeak
</code>

You can now start/stop/restart and see the status of the service via the following commands
<code>
systemctl start teamspeak
systemctl stop teamspeak
systemctl restart teamspeak
systemctl status teamspeak
</code>

===== Troubleshooting =====

==== failed to register local accounting service: File exists ====

The server doesnt start and the log shows the following error \\
<code>
failed to register local accounting service: File exists
</code>

__Reason:__ \\
A file was created by root and cant be used by your non-root user\\

__Fix:__ \\
Check for a cryptic file in /dev/shm/\\
<code>ls -al /dev/shm/
total 39228
drwxrwxrwt  2 root      root        1800 Dez  5 11:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root      root        3640 Nov 13 06:47 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root      root         128 Dez  5 11:41 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8
</code>
and remove it
<code>rm /dev/shm/7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8</code>

If you start teamspeak now, the file will be created with the correct user\\
<code>ls -al /dev/shm/        
total 39228
drwxrwxrwt  2 root      root         1800 Dez  5 12:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root      root         3640 Nov 13 06:47 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 teamspeak teamspeak     128 Dez  5 12:10 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8
</code>

|CRITICAL|Accounting    |   |Failed loading default license file!
</code>

Get the server package downloadlink from either the website or directly from the fileserver
<code>
https://www.teamspeak.com/de/downloads/#server
https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/</code>

Change to your directory and download the package

wget <URL>
</code>

Backup your old folder in case something is broken after overwriting

</code>

Unpack (overwrite the existing folder)
<code>
tar -xvf <PACKAGE>
</code>

and start as usual
