TeamSpeak 3 for the x86 platform (ReadyNAS Pro/NVX)

[jamestx10]

I would guess that the initial setup of the TS server is the hard part. This would be a really awesome add on though. Maybe Super will get a second wind on it or someone else will pick it up.

teamspeak 3 is a pretty easy install, at least on a normal server. And ALL of the server options/settings/etc. are done remotely via either the client or telnet. Nothing is done using the console.

all you do is copy the server files to a directory (any directory) and launch the program. it is all self contained and needs no outside resources that im aware of.

the only problem is that the initial launch tells you the admin password on the console, and you might not have console access on some installs, but the easy way around that is to launch once on your desktop computer, copy the password, then move the files elsewhere. thats what i have done on mine, and ive moved the software (including database) between at least 4 different servers over the last several months.

if you do what i describe, then all you need to do is copy the directory/files over to the readynas, and set up a cron job to start the executable on server start. so maybe we dont need an install, just some linux knowledge/how to do this on a readynas?

That is the "hard" part that I was referring too. The initial setup. Actually running the TS server is all console as you stated.

I would be fine in doing the setup on the PC and then moving it to the NAS but I run Windows so that might be an issue too.

shouldnt be an issue.
the database is the same on either platform, so you only need to copy that over.

I wonder if Super ran into an issue after showing the logs.

maybe he couldnt find the admin password

Bump for an update, I'd be very keen on this addon !!
However, if this is not on the agenda anymore, would someone be kind enough and explain to me how to install a TS3 server on the readynas ? I own the Ultra 2 Plus, but have near zero knowledge about installing software on the thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

I'm gonna bump this thread since I'm also looking into this and this is what I got so far:
F.Y.I. I'm running an Ultra 4 (x86) RAIDiator 4.2.19, keep in mind that Teamspeak will not run on a Sparc or ARM based device.

- Created a user 'Teamspeak' using the webinterface .
- Downloaded the current version: teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.6.1.tar.gz <- Yes AMD64, turns out it's 64bit, I checked using:

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux NAS 2.6.37.6.RNx86_64.2.1 #1 SMP Mon Aug 15 16:19:41 PDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux


- Extracted the tar and gave ownership to the Teamspeak user

- Started using the follwing command so it would run under the Teamspeak user (all the user created using the webinterface have /bin/false and cannot logon using SSH)

Code: Select all

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start' Teamspeak

Then it quits on me claiming it can't find a bunch of libraries and when I check the bin file for dependencies it gives me the following results:

Code: Select all

ldd -d ts3server_linux_amd64
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffcefff000)
        libdl.so.2 => not found
        librt.so.1 => not found
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9d8cf66000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => not found
        libm.so.6 => not found
        libgcc_s.so.1 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9d8cbf5000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9d8d182000)


When I check for the missing lib, I can find the all in /lib/ but not in /lib64/ which means the 64bit are not installed, problem is that firmware is still based on Debian Lenny and haven't been able to find the right lib to install because lenny is missing from both http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive. Installing newer versions fails because they depend on other lib that aren't updated and forcing an installation could possibly brick everything. So any suggestions would be helpfull.

[markg]

i have found out by accident that teamspeak 32 bit is quite happy to run on 64bit machines.
didnt see any performance issues, so it ran this way for a few months before switching to 64bit

have you tried the 32 bit version? maybe the libraries are there and it would run?

database would be the same either way, ive switched them between various versions without any problem

[diablo668]

Yes I did try the 32bit version and failed to start it, but I'm getting close, because I now know it's possible.

First off:

Code: Select all

ldd -d ts3server_linux_x86
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7742000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xf7739000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7721000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf762b000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7605000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf75f8000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf74ba000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf774d000)


And when you try to run the ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh from a root user it works, but haven't gotten it to run from a normal user account. Even with the user having all the rights on the folder it cuts out on a few errors:

Code: Select all

sh ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh
Do you have the right TS3 Server package for your system? You have: Linux x86_64, not Linux i386.

[diablo668]

Got another step further:

The ERROR |Accounting | | failed to register local accounting service turns out to be a normal error, since I don't have license key I can only run one server, and because I ran it as root first it created a fine in /dev/shm, after deleting this file and grating my Teamspeak owner rights I could start the server normaly.

[markg]

thats great news.

now you just have to explain to us non experts exactly how/what to install on our readynas.

and how to start/stop the ts3 server. we need to do this to replace the database with one generated on another box, so we have the root admin.

btw the license is free if you are a non profit/gamer/etc. i have a 512 slot license and can run those slots over many servers (i forget how many, but more than i will ever need)

[diablo668]

Full step by step guide on how I managed to get Teamspeak running on my Ultra 4 (x86)

! Make sure you got ssh access set up for your Readynas !

- Create a Teamspeak user using the webinterface of your readynas (Teamspeak doesn't like running from root user)
- SSH into you readynas using Putty (or something similar) and logon with your root user (by default with the ssh add-on this is your only user that can logon)
- Navigate to your prefered directory, for ex: /urs/local/src/

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/src/

- Go to the download page on the teamspeak website, select linux serer x86, click trough the next few pages until you get the download link and then copy and past this link. Using this link we can download it directly to our readynas:

Code: Select all

wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.6.1/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.6.1.tar.gz

- Unpack the file:

Code: Select all

tar zxfv teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.6.1.tar.gz

- Setup ownership on the folder (replace Teamspeak with the teamspeak user you created earlier)

Code: Select all

chown Teamspeak:users -R teamspeak3-server_linux-x86

- Navigate into the directory:

Code: Select all

cd teamspeak3-server_linux-x86

- Optional: Check if the library dependancies are met:

Code: Select all

ldd -d ts3server_linux_x86

You should see something similar to this:

Code: Select all

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7742000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xf7739000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7721000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf762b000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7605000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf75f8000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf74ba000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf774d000)


- Up the rights on /dev/shm (by default this only has root permissions, but teamspeak saves something of a license key in here and we'll be running teampseak under a normal user.

Code: Select all

chmod 777 -R /dev/shm/

- Run teamspeak for the first time (again replace Teamspeak with your the user you created earlier):

Code: Select all

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh start' Teamspeak

You should see something similar to this:

Code: Select all

Copy this info and store it!

- Login to your new teamspeak server and provide the token key when your clients asks for it.

****

- Stopping teamspeak:

Code: Select all

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh stop' Teamspeak


- Running teamspeak for the 2nd, 3rd, ...:

Code: Select all

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh start' Teamspeak


* Things that need to be added and haven't got to yet:
- Automated startup script
- License key

[markg]

great instructions, thanks!!

as far as the license key (which you only need if you want more than 1 server or more than 32 slots), once you register your non profit (which can be a gaming clan) they will give you the serverkey.dat file that is your key.

you just copy it to the root teamspeak directory, and restart the server, thats it.

[markg]

- Login to your new teamspeak server and provide the token key when your clients asks for it.

dont do that.

this token is for server admin, as opposed to the query admin shown above.

what you want to do is, use this token yourself the first time you connect to the server to grant yourself normal admin privileges. it is a single use token.

the query admin is only used to create new server instances etc. which you wont normally want to do.
