docker: ts3server

---

Attention: This image is no longer maintained. Use the official teamspeak docker image instead.

---

This is a Docker image to run a TeamSpeak 3 server.

• Database/ini/whitelist/blacklist files and files/logs folders are stored on persistent storage folder.
• If non-existent, these files/folders are also created directly on persistent storage folder.
• Runs as non-root user
• Small image size
• Small number of layers

Total size of this image is only:

Please note that Docker 1.9 or later is required for persistent storage.

---

Prepare folder for persistent storage

Create a folder on your Docker host that will be used for persistent data in the ts3server container:

mkdir {FOLDER}
chown 1000:1000 {FOLDER}

Replace {FOLDER} with an absolute path on the Docker host (e.g. /docker-persist/ts3server). This {FOLDER} on the host will be mapped as /data inside the container and this is where your database and some other files will be stored.

Since the server runs with a non-root user, you need to make sure to set permissions properly after moving files manually to the persistent storage folder. This can be done with the following command:

chown -R 1000:1000 {FOLDER}

If you want to backup your TeamSpeak 3 Server files, this {FOLDER} on the host is the one you need to backup.

---

Pulling from Docker Hub

To pull the latest image from Docker registry, use the following command:

docker pull mlabbe/ts3server

---

Important changes in v3.1.0+

-Accounting communication is now HTTPS, so adjustments to your firewall rules may be required! -You need to accept license agreement or the server will not start:

• Easy way: add -e TS3SERVER_LICENSE=view in your docker run command, like below.
• Permanent way: create a file named .ts3server_license_accepted (content doesn't matter and could be empty) in your data folder.

---

Running the image

In order to run the TeamSpeak 3 Server, use the following:

docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name=ts3server -d -e TS3SERVER_LICENSE=view -p 9987:9987/udp -p 30033:30033 -p 10011:10011 -v {FOLDER}:/data mlabbe/ts3server

You can bind only port 9987/udp if you don't need ServerQuery and File Transfers.

You can also use different port(s) if you want. You can keep the default built-in ports inside the container and just map them to different ports on the host, e.g.:

-p 9988:9987/udp -p 30034:30033 -p 10012:10011

The script will create symlinks to move sqlite database & config files to your persistent storage folder (existing files will be reused and missing files will be created).

IMPORTANT: if you bring files from another TeamSpeak3 server, make sure you edit paths in ts3server.ini accordingly:

• licensepath=/data/
• query_ip_whitelist=/data/query_ip_whitelist.txt
• query_ip_blacklist=/data/query_ip_blacklist.txt
• logpath=/data/logs

---

First Run

If no database exist in the persistent storage folder, a new database will be created. Make sure you check the logfile, using the following command:

docker logs ts3server

You will need your randomized ServerAdmin password/token to manage your new server. These are found in the log file on first run:

------------------------------------------------------------------
                      I M P O R T A N T
------------------------------------------------------------------
               Server Query Admin Account created
         loginname= "serveradmin", password= "nRb1UVuT"
------------------------------------------------------------------

[...]

------------------------------------------------------------------
                      I M P O R T A N T
------------------------------------------------------------------
      ServerAdmin privilege key created, please use it to gain
      serveradmin rights for your virtualserver. please
      also check the doc/privilegekey_guide.txt for details.

Upgrading

Since the config/data files should be stored in the persistent storage folder, just pull the newer image from Docker Hub, then stop/remove the container and create it again:

docker pull mlabbe/ts3server
docker stop ts3server
docker rm ts3server
docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name=ts3server -d -p 9987:9987/udp -p 30033:30033 -p 10011:10011 -v {FOLDER}:/data mlabbe/ts3server
