Configure & Prepare
Set your server settings, then install Docker, and pull the TeamSpeak 6 container image.
# 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
Run the Installation Script
TeamSpeak 6 uses a custom install script to download and configure the server files.
#!/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."Open Firewall Ports
TeamSpeak 6 requires 2 ports to be open for game traffic and queries.
sudo ufw allow 9987/udp sudo ufw allow 30033/tcp
Launch the Server
Start the TeamSpeak 6 server using the configuration from Step 1.
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
