How to Make a TeamSpeak Server

Source.

Create a New System User

$ adduser --disabled-login teamspeak
$ sudo su teamspeak
$ cd /home/teamspeak

Download and Extract TeamSpeak 3 Server

Use the download link to get the latest TeamSpeak server software.

$ wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.13.7/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2
$ rm teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2

Accept the TeamSpeak 3 License Agreement

Make sure you are in the teamspeak3-serverlinuxamd64 directory first and:

$ touch .ts3server_license_accepted

Start the TeamSpeak Server on Startup

$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/teamspeak.service

Here’s an example of what the file should consist of:

[Unit]
Description=TeamSpeak 3 Server
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
User=teamspeak
Group=teamspeak
Type=forking
ExecStart=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini
ExecStop=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
PIDFile=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.pid
RestartSec=15
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

$ systemctl enable teamspeak.service
$ systemctl start teamspeak.service
$ systemctl | grep teamspeak.service
$ service teamspeak status

Retrieve the Privilege Key

$ sudo su teamspeak
$ cat /home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/logs/ts3server_*

Find the ServerAdmin line and copy the token. It will look something like this:

ServerAdmin privilege key created, please use the line below
token=ZyQqAIGrZyQqAIGrZyQqAIGrZyQqAIGrZyQqAIGr

Connect via the TeamSpeak Client

The last step is to connect to the newly created TS3 server and apply the privilege key. Use the server address of your dedicated VPS when connecting. You will be immediately prompted to enter the server admin token.

Great work – you have successfully created and connected to a TeamSpeak server on Ubuntu.
