[https://www.teamspeak.com/en/ Teamspeak 3] is a Server/Client program that delivers voice chat functionality (and secondarily text chat functionality) over a TCP/IP connection. Teamspeak is proprietary software, but for small groups (up to 32 people) you can host your own server for free. This article will show you how to setup a Teamspeak 3 server on a [https://www.debian.org/ Debian] 9 system.
=Setup the Server=
#Log in to your Debian 9 machine as a sudo capable user
#Run ''sudo apt update''
#Run ''sudo apt upgrade''
#Run ''sudo adduser teamspeak3'' to create a dedicated user to run your Teamspeak Server instance
#Run ''cd ~'' to ensure you're in your home directory
#Visit ''https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/#server'' and copy the download link for either 64-bit or 32-bit version of the Linux Server code
#Run ''wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.9.0/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.9.0.tar.bz2'' (replacing the download link with what you just copied
#Run ''tar xfvj teamspeak3-server_linux_*.tar.bz2''
#Run ''sudo mv teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64 /opt/teamspeak3-server/''
#Run ''sudo chown -R teamspeak3:teamspeak3 teamspeak3-server/''
#Run ''su teamspeak3''
#Run ''cd /opt/teampspeak3-server''
#Run ''touch .ts3server_license_accepted''
#Run ''./ts3server_startscript.sh start''
#*You'll need the token to give yourself admin privileges the first time you log into the server
##Highlight and copy the text that is printed to your console showing the loginname, password, and token
##Hit '''Enter'''
#Run ''nano /home/teamspeak3/ts3_admin_info.txt'' and paste in what you just copied down (just in case)
#Run ''exit'' to get back to your sudo user
#Run ''sudo nano /etc/init.d/ts3 and fill the file with the following
<nowiki>### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ts3
# Required-Start: $network mysql
# Required-Stop: $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: TeamSpeak3 Server Daemon
# Description: Starts/Stops/Restarts the TeamSpeak Server Daemon
### END INIT INFO

USER=teamspeak3
DIR=/opt/teamspeak3-server
DAEMON=$DIR/ts3server_startscript.sh
#PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
# Gracefully exit if the package has been removed.
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
sleep 2
sudo -u $USER $DAEMON $1 $OPTIONS</nowiki>
#Run ''sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/ts3''
#Run ''sudo update-rc.d ts3 defaults''
=Log In To The Server and Finish Setup=
*Ideally this is done on another machine with a GUI
*Make sure you have the [https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/#client Teamspeak 3 Client] installed
#Run your teamspeak 3 client
#Click '''Connections''' and '''Connect'''
#Enter the hostname or IP address of your server
#Click '''Connect'''
#You will be prompted for an Privilege Token. Enter the number that you saved in ''/home/teamspeak3/ts3_admin_info.txt'' on the server machine
Now you can configure the name, welcome message, permissions, rooms, etc of your new Teamspeak 3 server from the Client GUI!
