Under the Hood

The full manual process to host a TeamSpeak 6 dedicated server on a VPS. Or install GameCP on your own computer and skip all of this.

Step 1

Configure & Prepare

Set your server settings, then install Docker, and pull the TeamSpeak 6 container image.

Server ConfigurationEdit values to update all commands
terminal
# Update system and install Docker
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker.io
sudo systemctl enable --now docker

# Create game server directory
sudo mkdir -p /opt/gameserver

# Server configuration
export TS_VERSION="latest"
export MAX_PLAYERS="32"
export TSSERVER_QUERY_SSH_ENABLED="0"
export TSSERVER_QUERY_HTTP_ENABLED="0"

# Pull the container image
docker pull ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/yolks:debian
Step 2

Run the Installation Script

TeamSpeak 6 uses a custom install script to download and configure the server files.

Installation Script
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/gameserver

apt-get update
apt-get install -y jq bzip2 curl

ver="$TS_VERSION"
if [ -z "$ver" ] || [ "$ver" = "latest" ]; then
    echo "Fetching latest TeamSpeak 6 release..."
    json=$(curl -sSL https://api.github.com/repos/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server/releases/latest)
else
    echo "Fetching TeamSpeak 6 release: $ver"
    json=$(curl -sSL https://api.github.com/repos/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server/releases/tags/$ver 2>/dev/null)
    if echo "$json" | grep -q "Not Found"; then
        altver=$(echo "$ver" | sed 's/-/\//')
        json=$(curl -sSL https://api.github.com/repos/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server/releases/tags/$altver 2>/dev/null)
    fi
fi

if echo "$json" | grep -q "Not Found"; then
    echo "ERROR: Version not found: $ver"
    exit 1
fi

url=$(echo "$json" | jq -r '.assets | map(select((.name | contains("linux_amd64")) and (.name | endswith(".tar.bz2"))))[0].browser_download_url')

if [ -z "$url" ] || [ "$url" = "null" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: No linux_amd64 release asset found for version: $ver"
    exit 1
fi

echo "Downloading: $url"
curl -sSL "$url" | tar xj --strip-components=1

echo "TeamSpeak 6 installation complete."
Step 3

Open Firewall Ports

TeamSpeak 6 requires 2 ports to be open for game traffic and queries.

terminal
sudo ufw allow 9987/udp
sudo ufw allow 30033/tcp
9987/UDP(PORT)30033/TCP(FILE_TRANSFER_PORT)
Step 4

Launch the Server

Start the TeamSpeak 6 server using the configuration from Step 1.

terminal
docker run -d \
  --name teamspeak6-server \
  -p 9987:9987/udp \
  -p 30033:30033/tcp \
  -e TS_VERSION="latest" \
  -e MAX_PLAYERS="32" \
  -e TSSERVER_QUERY_SSH_ENABLED="0" \
  -e TSSERVER_QUERY_HTTP_ENABLED="0" \
  -v /opt/gameserver:/opt/gameserver \
  -w /opt/gameserver \
  ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/yolks:debian \
  ./tsserver --default-voice-port=9987
