TeamSpeak 3¶

TeamSpeak 3 is a gaming focused voice server.

There is an official image for this service that we'll use: teamspeak.

Pre-Installation¶

We'll create a folder in the main user's home where all the service's data will be saved.

mkdir ~/services/games/teamspeak

Docker Compose¶

TeamSpeak 3 will be run using Docker Compose. The content of the docker-compose.yml file is as follows:

services:
  server:
    image: teamspeak:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - 9987:9987/udp
      - 10011:10011
      - 30033:30033
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/ts3server
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil

    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./db:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
      MYSQL_DATABASE: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}

Secrets¶

Make sure to create a .env file with the following structure:

MYSQL_DATABASE=
MYSQL_PASSWORD=

Getting Server Auth Tokens¶

After the container has been created, check its logs and save the serveradmin login details. This is very important in case you get locked out of your server or if you need to change some settings through ServerQuery.

Use:

docker compose logs server -f

You should also find here the privilege key to set up your user as the server administrator.

Running¶

Start up the service with:

docker compose up -d

That's it! The service will auto-start on system startup and restart on failure.
