Teamspeak server

Question

I am trying to test teamspeak (most importantly the memory used) on the webfaction server. I run it and tell it to listen on a port of a custom application but it appears as if the connect requests are not making it to the teamspeak server.

Has anyone gotten this working before?

Hi,

Unless you've requested the port be opened on a dedicated IP address, all ports are blocked by default. So all you need to do is get a dedicated IP address, if you don't have one, then ask support to open the requested port in the firewall for your dedicated IP address.

Hope that helps!

But isn't this the purpose of the port number on a custom application?

Hi,

No. Almost all applications have a port number (Django, CherryPy, Zope, Rails, etc.) so that our frontend Nginx server can route the requests to the appropriate application. That's the point of the port number.

What you want to do is bypass that Nginx frontend and have your application speak Teamspeak to the world rather than HTTP, which you can't do without us opening a hole in the firewall to allow direct connections to the port you were assigned.

Ah, so then I assume I won't be able to run it on my shared hosting account? :)

Hi,

You can. I've installed Mumble and Teamspeak on my personal account. All you need is a dedicated IP address and an email to support asking for the port to be opened and then you'll be set. (You'll also need to configure Teamspeak to use your dedicated IP address.)

I won't be getting a dedicated address any time soon, so thanks for the help anyway :D

NOTE: You no longer need a dedicated IP address to run TeamSpeak at WebFaction. Just open a support ticket and request that the TeamSpeak ports be opened for you on the shared IP: ports 9987, 10011, 30033, 41144.

It is easy to run TeamSpeak 3 on WebFaction. It typically uses around 30MB of RAM.

Step #1

First, open a support ticket and request the TeamSpeak 3 ports to be opened for you: 9987, 10011, 30033, 41144. You do NOT need a dedicated IP address for this. (You used to need one, but not anymore.) WebFaction Support will reply and tell you what IP to bind to.

Step #2:

Modify the first line and then copy-paste these lines into SSH to install and start TeamSpeak:

YOUR_IP=1.2.3.4     # Replace this with the IP from Step #1.
ARCH=x86; [ "$(uname -i)" = x86_64 ] && ARCH=amd64
mkdir -p ~/teamspeak3 && curl http://webfaction.likebike.org/teamspeak3-server_linux-${ARCH}-3.0.8.tar.gz | tar xz --strip 1 -C ~/teamspeak3
(crontab -l; echo "*/20 * * * * ~/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh start 'voice_ip=$YOUR_IP filetransfer_ip=$YOUR_IP query_ip=$YOUR_IP' >>~/logs/user/teamspeak.log 2>&1 &") | crontab
~/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh start "voice_ip=$YOUR_IP filetransfer_ip=$YOUR_IP query_ip=$YOUR_IP"

Your administrator loginname, password, and key token will be auto-generated and printed to the screen. Jot them down somewhere so you can log in to your server, which is now running on the IP from Step #1. Go ahead and connect with the TeamSpeak 3 Client, available here:

You're Done! Easy, right?
