TeamSpeak on Raspberry Pi
The following tutorial is intended to serve as a guide to mount a TeamSpeak server on a Raspberry Pi.
During this task, a Pi 4 model was used, but it would work on Raspberry 2, 3 and 4 models (and any ARMv8 cpu running Ubuntu).
Install the following dependencies:
sudo apt install qemu-user-static binfmt
sudo adduser teamspeak --disabled-login --uid 1111
sudo setcap cap_sys_chroot+ep /usr/sbin/chroot
The second command is ONLY needed to run teamspeak as a server without root privileges.
Edit apt sources.
Add this repository to your sources.list:
deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main multiverse restricted universe
Note 'focal' should be replaced by 'eoan' if you're not on Ubuntu's testing branch
Perform an APT update and then enable multiarch support for amd64:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64
sudo apt update
Create the base filesystem inside the directory of your preference.
qemu-debootstrap --arch amd64 xenial /home/teamspeak/ts3vm
This will perform all the neccesary steps as --first and --second-stage, and will copy qemu-x86_64-static to the VM meanwhile the process is taking time (and it will be around 20 minutes).
It is neccesary to mount /dev/shm in the VM for this to work:
mount --bind /dev/shm /home/teamspeak/ts3vm/dev/shm
Download it to your Raspberry, and copy it to the vm /root folder with:
wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.11.0/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.11.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.11.0.tar.bz2
cp -r teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64 ts3vm/root/
chroot ts3vm
Once you had chroot'ed into ts3vm , you should see something as the following on the terminal:
root@ubuntu:/home/teamspeak# chroot ts3vm/
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (xx_XX.UTF-8)
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
qemu-x86_64-static: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
root@ubuntu:/#
Execute then the following commands:
adduser teamspeak --disabled-login --uid 1111
mv /root/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64 /home/teamspeak
cd /home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64
touch .ts3server_license_accepted
./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh
Keep the track of the password and the token given in the output , you will need them later. You can see them also by doing
cat /home/teamspeak/ts3vm/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/logs/** | grep token
You have to make sure that user GUIDs of teamspeak user of both environments is the same to make it run as non-root user.
Note that Teamspeak will fail to boot it you did not mounted /dev/shm
Then connect with TeamSpeak Client to your Raspberry Pi IP. You will be prompted to enter the token you noted down before.
You can control now the server with these commands:
chroot ts3vm /bin/bash -c "cd /home/teamspeak/ && ./teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start"
chroot ts3vm /bin/bash -c "cd /home/teamspeak/ && ./teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop"
Execute sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/teamspeak.service in the host machine and paste the following:
[Unit]
Description=TeamSpeak 3 Server in chroot environment
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/teamspeak/
User=teamspeak
Group=teamspeak
Type=forking
ExecStart=chroot ts3vm /bin/bash -c "cd /home/teamspeak/ && ./teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh restart"
ExecStop=chroot ts3vm /bin/bash -c "cd /home/teamspeak/ && ./teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop"
PIDFile=/home/teamspeak/ts3vm/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.pid
RestartSec=500
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then try the service with:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start teamspeak
If it works, congratulations!!! you made it!
You can add it now to boot up services with:
systemctl enable teamspeak
In order to make it work on next reboot, /dev/shm must be mounted.
So, you can edit /etc/fstab and add the following:
/dev/shm /home/teamspeak/ts3vm/dev/shm none defaults,bind 0 0
Enjoy! ;)
