How do I install and configure a TeamSpeak server?

First, connect to the server via an SSH connection. If you haven't already done so, we recommend using our instructions to establish a secure connection via SSH.

1 First, update the package management system by entering the following commands (may take a while):

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

2. download the latest version of the TeamSpeak3 server

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

3. extract the archive

tar -xvfj teamspeak3-server

4. delete the zipped archive by typing

rm -r teamspeak3-server

5. navigate to the unzipped folder

cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64

Accept the TeamSpeak Systems GmbH server license.

touch .ts3server_license_accepted

To enable the TeamSpeak server type:

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

A message will be displayed with the TeamSpeak server administrator login details.
These are important, so it is worth remembering them. To get to the command line press ENTER.

If everything has been installed correctly, the script will start the server. You will use the following commands to manage the status of the server:

Shutdown:

./ts3server_startscript.sh stop

Startup:

./ts3server_startscript.sh start

Restarting:

./ts3server_startscript.sh restart

Display current server status:

./ts3server_startscript.sh restart

Download the latest version of the TeamSpeak client from the https://www.teamspeak.com/en/your-download/.

1. Open the client and log in.
2. Then create a new connection.
3. You will be prompted to enter the server IP address, password and username.
4. When you connect for the first time, you will be asked for the key to obtain administrator rights.
5. Enter the key to obtain full rights on the channel.

You can now use TeamSpeak with your friends by sending them the IP address and password of the server.
