Teamspeak<\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0VOIP server<\/strong>\u00a0that can be used for teams\/multiple people to communicate. It is relatively lightweight, and secure, as updates are released regularly.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we’ll be installing\u00a0Teamspeak<\/strong>\u00a0on your\u00a0CentOS 7<\/strong>\u00a0instance.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before we begin, you’ll need:<\/p>\n

\n
• CentOS 7 system (64 bit only).<\/strong><\/li>\n
• 512 MB of RAM or higher.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• wget<\/code>\u00a0(utility used for downloading files).<\/strong><\/li>\n
• nano<\/code>\u00a0or\u00a0vim<\/code>\u00a0(any text editor is fine).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

  Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  Update the system packages. This may take some time.<\/p>\n

  yum update -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Install tools needed for this tutorial.<\/p>\n
  yum install nano wget perl tar net-tools bzip2 -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Installation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  Add an unprivileged user to run Teamspeak. When prompted, enter your desired password.<\/p>\n
  useradd ts\r\npasswd ts\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Retrieve the Teamspeak server software.<\/p>\n
  cd ~\r\nwget http:\/\/dl.4players.de\/ts\/releases\/3.0.13.8\/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.13.8.tar.bz2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Extract the Teamspeak tarball and copy all of the files to our unprivileged user’s home directory.<\/p>\n
  tar -xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.13.8.tar.bz2\r\ncd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64\r\ncp * -R \/home\/ts\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Remove temporary files.<\/p>\n
  cd ~\r\nrm -rf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64\r\nrm -rf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.0.13.8.tar.bz2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Grant the appropriate permissions to our\u00a0ts<\/code>\u00a0user.<\/p>\n
  chown -R ts:ts \/home\/ts\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Create a Systemd service for Teamspeak.<\/p>\n
  nano \/lib\/systemd\/system\/teamspeak.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Paste the following:<\/p>\n
  [Unit]\r\nDescription=Team Speak 3 Server\r\nAfter=network.target\r\n[Service]\r\nWorkingDirectory=\/home\/teamspeak\/\r\nUser=ts\r\nGroup=ts\r\nType=forking\r\nExecStart=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini\r\nExecStop=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server_startscript.sh stop\r\nPIDFile=\/home\/teamspeak\/ts3server.pid\r\nRestartSec=15\r\nRestart=always\r\n[Install]\r\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Save and exit (press\u00a0CTRL<\/code>\u00a0and\u00a0O<\/code>\u00a0simultaneously, followed by the\u00a0Enter<\/code>\u00a0key).<\/p>\n
  Reload Systemd units.<\/p>\n
  systemctl --system daemon-reload\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Make Teamspeak run on startup.<\/p>\n
  systemctl enable teamspeak.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Starting, Stopping And Restarting Teamspeak<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  Controlling Teamspeak is simple. You can control Teamspeak with the following command:<\/p>\n
  systemctl (option) teamspeak.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Replace\u00a0(option)<\/code>\u00a0with\u00a0start<\/code>,\u00a0stop<\/code>, or\u00a0restart<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  Configuring The firewall<\/strong><\/h3>\n
  CentOS 7 no longer uses\u00a0iptables<\/code>. As an alternative, CentOS 7 comes with\u00a0firewalld<\/code>\u00a0by default.<\/p>\n
  Find the default zone. On\u00a0Aklweb host<\/strong>\u00a0instances running CentOS 7, the default zone is\u00a0public<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  firewall-cmd --get-default-zone\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Open the default ports for Teamspeak. If each rule is added successfully, the output will read “success”.<\/p>\n
  firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=10011\/tcp\r\nfirewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=30033\/tcp\r\nfirewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=9987\/udp\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Reload\u00a0firewalld<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  firewall-cmd --reload\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
  Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a Teamspeak server. You can connect to it with the\u00a0Teamspeak Client<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
