    # sudo ufw allow 9987/udp comment "TeamSpeak Voice"

    # sudo ufw allow 30033/tcp comment "TeamSpeak File Transfer"

    Optional # ServerQuery interface (TCP) - restrict this to your IP if possible

    # sudo ufw allow from YOUR_IP_ADDRESS to any port 10011/tcp comment "TeamSpeak ServerQuery"

    Check if service and PID is running, check open ports

    # sudo systemctl status teamspeak

    # ps -e | grep ts3

    # sudo ss -tulnp | grep ts3 (netstat depricated cmd)

    Monitoring logs n output

    # tail -f /opt/teamspeak/logs/ts3server_*.log

    # journalctl -u teamspeak -f

    Troubleshooting and tips

  • Ceck ALL dir/files in /opt/teamspeak have write perms (/logs, /files etc) (sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/teamspeak/)
  • check temp files aren't lingering and need to be cleared out (/dev/shm/)
  • If need be delete database (if corupted) so teamspeak can create a new one

    • Teamspeak6 Client

    TeamSpeak Downloads

    download from website, extract files

    move folder to dir /usr/local/bin (right click copy paste, or mv command)

    run teamspeak executable (check that file is executable e.g. chmod +x teamspeak)

    check that [Desktop Entry] exists in CORRECT dir, '/home/blizblaze/.local/share/applications'

    edit [Desktop Entry] to reflect correct PATH 'Exec=/usr/local/bin/teamspeak-client/TeamSpeak %u'

    [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application StartupNotify=false Exec=/usr/local/bin/teamspeak-client/TeamSpeak %u Name=TeamSpeak Icon=teamspeak-client.png Comment=TeamSpeak Voice Communication Client Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Chat;Network; StartupWMClass=TeamSpeak MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ts3server;x-scheme-handler/teamspeak;

    check that desktop entry is executable (chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/teamspeak.desktop)

    Add to content bar, search for teamspeak in ubuntu app launcher, click on entry to run, in side bar right click 'pin to dock'
