How to install a TeamSpeak 3 server on your Linux VPS

Instructions for installing a TeamSpeak 3 server on a Linux VPS.

We recommend the program PuTTY for SSH connections with servers.

1. Update system
   Update your system and install the necessary programs:

   apt update && apt upgrade -y
   

   apt install sudo bzip2
   

2. Create user
   Create a subuser for the server and log in:

   adduser teamspeak --disabled-login
   

   su teamspeak -l
   

3. Download server
   Copy the link for the latest 64-bit Linux server version on the TeamSpeak downloads page.

4. Extract files
   Download the file, extract it and navigate to the directory, for example with v3.13.7:

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

   tar xvfj teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2
   

   rm teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.13.7.tar.bz2
   

   cd teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
   

5. Start server
   Accept the licenses and start the server:

   touch .ts3server_license_accepted
   

   chmod +x ts3server_startscript.sh
   

   ./ts3server_startscript.sh start
