No reboot reminder, not sure if that was intentional.

Rebooted, changed port forwards to resolve to my pfsense IP instead of my rig's IP.

Checked logs, noticed log sizes I didn't see before. First log had a bunch of info, no issues that I could see. Second log had…a token! Logged in to my server via the LAN IP of my pfSense box and authenticated as admin. Hooray!

Kevev - You are extremely awesome for taking the time to do this. You really saved my ass here, and now I can finally turn my main rig off / stop temporarily hosting my gaming community's ts3. 8)

kevev

Awesome dude. Glad someone got it working. I will update the script to remind users to reboot.

I added a 64bit version.

I also updated the x86 version to correct some spelling mistakes and added a reboot reminder. ;)

Let me know if there are issues.

Can't wait to get home and try the 64bit out… Anything else you want me to try out while this box is still a virgin and not in "production" use?

kevev

I have a cups printing tutorial you can try out. :)

I may write scripts for that one too if there is interest.

I can test out to see if it installs and that portion of it, I won't be able to test out is use unfortunately…

How about one for mumble (teamspeak alternative)? Might be a popular option for those that want more users but on the same type of VoIP thing?

Complete success. Everything went smooth on 64bit as instructed.

Kevev, can you change this:

4.) Run the install script for your architecture

pfsense-teamspeak-install_x86.sh

or

pfsense-teamspeak-install_amd64.sh

to this:

4.) Run the install script for your architecture

./pfsense-teamspeak-install_x86.sh

or

./pfsense-teamspeak-install_amd64.sh

I was beating myself over the head trying to remember the ./ for the install. Like I said I'm a complete newb at this; but by following your directions, it's installed, and running, sweet.

Thank you very much, I hope this helps someone else too.

kevev

./pfsense-teamspeak-install_x86.sh

./pfsense-teamspeak-install_amd64.sh

Done.

Kevev - Since you had to fix the scripts, do the update instructions change at all? Want to make sure I have those saved once the next update rolls out.

Good catch on the upgrade instructions. I updated them. They should be correct now.

kevev

I will see what I can do on mumble. It requires compiling which may be a no go here. Unless someone can fine me a ports or binary install.

kevev: original instructions:

3.) chmod +x /root/pfsense-teamspeak-install.sh

to

3.) chmod +x /root/pfsense-teamspeak-install.sh
or
3.) chmod +x /root/pfsense-teamspeak-install_amd64.sh

kevev

Done. Good luck with snort. Very powerful product.

How about a set of directions for changing hardware or machines, or even a fresh install upgrade? Some way to carry over our install and current settings? I'm guessing it goes like the upgrade instructions for the first part of it.

Thanks.

kevev

I am guessing you only need to bring over the sqlite* DB file. As this is outside of the scope of this thread maybe try the teamspeak website.

Will updating to 2.2 break the TS server at all?

kevev

Try it and let us know. ::)

Nope works fine.

To move your server to a new machine or if you wish to reformat/reinstall a fresh copy of pfsense:

Do the backup part as Kevev as stated in post 2 for an upgrade (steps 1 through 4), then copy the backup to another computer/location. From this backup all you technically need is ts3server.sqlitedb file. Follow the instructions posted for the install from post 1, on reboot (@ step 8.) do the following:

1. Verify the server is running, connect to it should ask you for the key as in original step 8, don't bother we don't need this.

2. Shutdown the teamspeak server:

a.) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server.sh forcestop

3. Copy the original ts3server.sqlitedb file from your backup and override the new one to:

/usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86

or

/usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64

4. Optional: Copy your log folder also and override the new one (I like to keep logs)

5. Start the teamspeak server and verify everything works:

a.) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server.sh start

6. If you wish to, restart the router and verify the teamspeak server starts as expected.

***thanks to kevev for making this super easy for us, most of these instructions are just a copy of his.

kevev, you can add this to your second post if you want so people don't have to hunt for it.

kevev

Tong: I linked your post to 2nd post.

Also, I found out that Mumble server(Murmur 1.2.3) is available as a binary install for pfsense 2.1.x . I have some install instructions but there are lots of steps. I will try to make an install script like I did here. Also I haven't checked if Murmur 1.2.8(latest rease) is available for the new pfSense 2.2 . Hoping it is and also compatible with pfSense 2.1.x .

Question: Anyone interested in a freedns install script?(freedns.afraid.org) I have seen lots of people asking for a solution for this free dynamic dns service. I use it so people can connect to my TS server via URL instead of always changing IP.
