How to install TeamSpeak Server on CentOS 7<\/h1>\n

TeamSpeak\u00ae is a VoIP (voice-over-Internet Protocol) solution first released in 2001 and most popular with those who play team-based online games. The software has two parts, a server and a client, both of which can be installed on Windows, Mac and Linux. This guide will focus on installing the TeamSpeak server on a CentOS 7 system.<\/p>\n

TeamSpeak is free for use with up to 32 users, and there exists a non-commercial, non-profit license suitable for use with up to 512 users.<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/h2>\n

Confirm that you have the following before you follow this guide:
\n\u2022 1 Node (Cloud Server<\/b><\/a> or Dedicated Server<\/b><\/a>) running CentOS 7.
\n\u2022 Root access to the node or one sudo non-root user
\n\u2022 A TeamSpeak client on your platform of choice in order to test things out.
\n\u2022 nano, wget, tar, perl, net-tools, and bzip2<\/p>\n

Step-by-step guide<\/h2>\n

The first step is to run the following commands on your Cent OS 7 server, to make sure you got the latest updates:<\/p>\n

yum update -y
\nyum install nano wget perl tar net-tools bzip2 -y<\/code><\/p>\n

Next, you’ll need to go through TeamSpeak user creation.<\/p>\n

adduser teamspeak<\/code><\/p>\n

You will be prompted to enter a password for TeamSpeak. Make it strong, but don’t worry about remembering it, as you will not be asked for it in the future.<\/p>\n

passwd teamspeak<\/code><\/p>\n

Next, you\u2019ll need to install TeamSpeak server, using the following command:<\/p>\n

wget http:\/\/dl.4players.de\/ts\/releases\/3.0.12.4\/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.12.4.tar.bz2
\ntar xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.12.4.tar.bz2
\ncd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
\ncp * -R \/home\/teamspeak
\ncd ..
\nrm -rf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64*
\nchown -R teamspeak:teamspeak \/home\/teamspeak<\/code><\/p>\n

If your server reboots, you will need a way to have TeamSpeak start up automatically. This is where startup scripts can come in handy. Create the following file and open it in your text editor.<\/p>\n

nano \/lib\/systemd\/system\/teamspeak.service<\/code><\/p>\n

Add this content to the file.<\/p>\n

[Unit]
\nDescription=Team Speak 3 Server
\nAfter=network.target
\n[Service]
\nWorkingDirectory=\/home\/teamspeak\/
\nUser=teamspeak
\nGroup=teamspeak
\nType=forking
\nExecStart=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini
\nExecStop=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
\nPIDFile=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server.pid
\nRestartSec=15
\nRestart=always
\n[Install]
\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/code><\/p>\n

Save and exit the text editor.<\/p>\n

Now you can start and enable the TeamSpeak Server onboot feature.<\/p>\n

systemctl --system daemon-reload
\nsystemctl start teamspeak.service
\nsystemctl enable teamspeak.service<\/code><\/p>\n

Make sure that TeamSpeak is actually running with this command:<\/p>\n

systemctl status teamspeak.service<\/code><\/p>\n

Firewall rules addition<\/h2>\n

TeamSpeak utilizes certain ports that must remain open for its services to work properly.
\n\u2022\t9987 UDP: TeamSpeak Voice service
\n\u2022\t10011 TCP: TeamSpeak ServerQuery
\n\u2022\t30033 TCP: TeamSpeak FileTransfer<\/p>\n

If you are using CentOS7’s firewall service (firewalld), here is how to open those ports:<\/p>\n

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9987\/udp --permanent
\nfirewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10011\/tcp --permanent
\nfirewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=30033\/tcp --permanent
\nfirewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/p>\n

Administrate your TeamSpeak server<\/h2>\n

The first time that you connect TeamSpeak-client to the newly installed TeamSpeak-server, you will be prompted to enter an administrator key.<\/p>\n

This key has been generated at first startup. You will need to retrieve the key in order to elevate your account as an administrator.<\/p>\n

cat \/home\/teamspeak\/logs\/ts3server_*<\/code><\/p>\n

If successful, you should see the following output.<\/p>\n

Copy and paste the token into your TeamSpeak-client.<\/p>\n

This user will then be assigned administrator rights on your server.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

With successful installation of TeamSpeak Server on CentOS 7, you can now host chats for up to 32 users at once, including yourself as an administrator. <\/p>\n
