TeamSpeak is a popular, cross-platform VoIP and text chat application for internal business communication, education and training (lectures), online games, and contact with friends and family. Its primary task is to provide a simpler and easier-to-use solution with strong security standards, excellent voice quality and less system and bandwidth utilization. It uses a client-server architecture and can handle thousands of users simultaneously.

How it works
Deploy your own TeamSpeak
server on Linux VPS, and share your
TeamSpeak server address with team members, friends and family or anyone you want to communicate with. Using the free desktop TeamSpeak client, they connect to your TeamSpeak server and start talking. this is very simple!
In this tutorial, we will explain how to install TeamSpeak Server on a CentOS 7 instance and install the desktop TeamSpeak client on a Linux machine.
Install TeamSpeak Server in CentOS 7
1. First update your CentOS 7
server package, then use the following commands to install the required dependencies for the installation process.
# yum update
# yum install vim wget perl tar net-tools bzip2
2. Next, you need to create a user for the TeamSpeak
server process to ensure that the TeamSpeak server runs in user mode, separated from other processes.
# useradd teamspeak
# passwd teamspeak
3. Now enter the TeamSpeak
server download page, use the following wget command to get the latest version (for example, 3.2.0), then unzip the tarball and copy all the files to our non-privileged user's home directory, as shown in the figure.
# wget -c http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.2.0/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.2.0.tar.bz2
# tar -xvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.2.0.tar.bz2
# mv teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64 teamspeak3
# cp -R teamspeak3 /home/teamspeak/
# chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /home/teamspeak/teamspeak3/
4. When everything is ready, now switch to the team user and use the following command to manually start the teamspeak server.
# su-teamspeak
$ cd teamspeak3/
$ ./ts3server_startscript.sh start
TeamSpeak started
5. To manage TeamSpeak server under Systemd service, you need to create a teampeak service unit file.
$ su-
# vi /lib/systemd/system/teamspeak.service
Add the following configuration in the unit file.
[Unit]
Description=Team Speak 3 Server
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/teamspeak/
User=teamspeak
Group=teamspeak
Type=forking
ExecStart=/home/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini
ExecStop=/home/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
PIDFile=/home/teamspeak/ts3server.pid
RestartSec=15
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save and close the file. Then immediately start the teamspeak
server and enable it to start automatically when the system boots, as shown below.
# systemctl start teamspeak
# systemctl enable teamspeak
# systemctl status teamspeak
Start the TeamSpeak server
6. When the teamspeak server is started for the first time, it will generate an administrator token/key that you will use to connect to the server from the TeamSpeak client. You can check the log file to get the key.
# cat /home/teamspeak/logs/ts3server_2017-08-09__22_51_25.819181_1.log
TeamSpeak server token
7. Next, TeamSpeak monitors multiple ports: 9987 UDP (TeamSpeak voice service), 10011 TCP (TeamSpeak ServerQuery) and 30033 TCP (TeamSpeak FileTransfer).
Therefore, modify your firewall rules to open these ports as follows
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9987/udp --permanent
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10011/tcp --permanent
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=30033/tcp --permanent
# firewall-cmd --reload
Install TeamSpeak client in Ubuntu 18.04
8. Log in to your Ubuntu desktop computer (you can use any Linux operating system) and go to the TeamSpeak client download page, and use the following wget command to get the latest version (ie 3.1.9) and install it as shown.
$ wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.1.9/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.1.9.run
$ chmod 755 TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.1.9.run
$ ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.1.9.run
$ cd TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64
./ts3client_runscript.sh
TeamSpeak client on Ubuntu
9. To access the server to query the administrator account, please use the login name and password created after starting the server. Here, you will also be asked to provide the ServerAdmin key. Once you enter the key, you will see the following message, which means that you now have administrative rights for the teampeak server you just installed.
Privilege Key successfully used.
