Howto: TeamSpeak 3 server in pfSense 2.x(Now with scripts amd64) v1.3

kevev · Oct 6, 2019, 5:19 AM

I am posting a new thread so that we don't confuse the new easy script with the old difficult way of installing TeamSpeak on pfSense(reminder, this is a very bad idea if you worry about security).

Please do no ask for help if you have already tried installing TeamSpeak another way and haven't cleaned up first. Wipe your pf box, reload pfSense, try the script, then ask for help.

(Current Versions)
x86 Not supported anymore.

x64 v.1.3 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fxQAMghQ-XOidEDOIDqKKDbntD4ZQhOM/view?usp=sharing

1.) Download the install scripts from above & teamspeak 3 server FreeBSD installer archive from http://www.teamspeak.com

2.) Extract and then upload install scripts & installer archive to /root

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

4.) Run the install script for your architecture

/root: ./pfsense-teamspeak-install_amd64.sh

6.) Check the output for errors. If no errors, Reboot your pfSense box(This is important)! :)

7.) Open the appropriate network ports for local and remote access to the teamspeak server:

WAN UDP 9987

8.) After a few minutes check the logs for your ServerAdmin privilege key(It takes a while for the key to be generated):

/root: grep token /usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server/logs/*

ex:
ServerAdmin privilege key created, please use the line below
token=v1H32gAavrEI8U718bK0WZssL9Cl39OxktQS2Q3Z

9.) When connecting your Client enter this token in the "One-Time Privelege Key:" field.

You are now the Admin of this TS server.

Upgrading:

1.) Shutdown the teamspeak server:

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

2.) cd /usr/local/lib/

3.) Backup the teamspeak server:

a.) tar -pczvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86.tar.gz teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86

or

a.) tar -pczvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64.tar.gz teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64

4.) Verify the backup contains our server files:

a.) tar -ztvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86.tar.gz

or

a.) tar -ztvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64.tar.gz

5.) Download teamspeak 3 FreeBSD x86 or amd64 archive from http://www.teamspeak.com

6.) Upload arcive to /root

7.) cd /root

8.) Extract:

a.) tar -xzvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86-*.tar.gz -C /usr/local/lib

or

a.) tar -xzvf teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64-*tar.gz -C /usr/local/lib

9.) Change Ownership:

a.) chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86

or

a.) chown -R teamspeak:teamspeak /usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server_freebsd-amd64

10.) Start the teamspeak server and verify everything works:

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

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

Thanks kevev! Will be giving this a try after work today.

New user, brand new and very green to this and anything outside of Windows but here's what I got.

Just picked up an apu device, installed pfsense on it (8g SD soon to be 30g msata). Followed these directions (first post so far), got #6 done with no errors, rebooted, configured #7 (both lan and wan), but when I got to #8, there was no log folder, tried connecting anyways but no success (thought maybe only after a connect would there be a log folder/file). I can watch the machine boot through serial console and I've seen it say starting team speak, but can't connect and there's no log file.

Another question I had is, if we have a 64bit capable machine and are using a 64bit install of pfsense, can/should we install the freebsd64 bit version of team speak instead of the x86?

Thanks a ton for doing this and trying to make it simple for beginners like me, it was your old thread instructions that finally convinced me to buy one of these and start this process of a serious net security device.

kevev · Jan 14, 2015, 6:56 PM

As I stated in the first post, I will only be supporting the script install method.

In your situation I would try the Removal option of the script and then the Install option.

If that does not work reload pfSense and try the script.

@unKn0wn:

kevev · Jan 14, 2015, 7:01 PM

Which version of pfSense did you install? I have not tested these instructions on the nano build. Only on the full build.

Where there any errors in the output when running the Install option of the script?

Check if teamspeak is running: ps aux|grep team

If it is not running try starting it manually and check the output: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server onestart

Using 2.1.5 live CD with installer (off mem stick) 64 bit version. There were no errors when running the script. Will try your suggestion when I get home and report back.

Thank you very much.

Log never spit out the privilege key.

After rebooting 3 logs were produced. They are…

I tried connecting from my main rig(behind pfSense) using the LAN IP of my pfSense box, and also the DNS have pointed to my external IP to make people's lives easier when they connect to my TS3 server.

At this point I realized I needed to fix my TS port forwards because they were resolving to my main rig's LAN IP.  Changed that to my pfSense LAN IP.

I figured since I did that, and since those 3 logs didn't produce they key, I might as well stop/start the TS server.  I tried `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server stop` which produced…

$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/teamspeak3-server: WARNING: $teamspeak3_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
Cannot 'stop' teamspeak3. Set teamspeak3_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestop' instead of 'stop'.


So I replaced "stop" with "onestop" which seems to have done the trick.  I then tried the start command and got a similar error, corrected it to onestart.  This produced a fourth log…

Did I do something wrong? Followed the guide step-by-step making sure I was typing in all commands correctly. I did steps 1 through 4 via webGUI command, then switched over to puTTy/SSH because I had to perform that install command from /root/. Then I rebooted. This is on a full install, version details are…

2.1.5-RELEASE (i386)
built on Mon Aug 25 07:44:26 EDT 2014
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16

And just for good measure, here is the install log…

ETA: One of your four files doesn't have a file extension. Is this intentional? It's the "teamspeak3-server" file.

ETA1: There's also this in case you were wanting to see it…

ETA2: The "start" and "stop" commands are working normally now. No "add one-" errors. Weird. Logs are still spitting out the same, ending with that critical SQL error.

ps aux|grep team

Gives this result:

root 81623 0.0 0.0 9068 1468 u0 S+ 6:39PM 0:00.00 grep team

Still no log folder however. And I'm beating my head on the firewall rule… Not sure i have it 100% right!

Btw, did this fresh on a new install, followed all the directions to a T.

Might be just me and my inexperience so far.

Are you sure you're checking the /usr/local/lib/teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86/logs/ directory?

In the webGUI go to Diagnostics > Edit File. Click Browse to view folder list. Single-left-click usr, then local, then lib, then teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86, then logs. Are you not seeing the /teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86/ folder in /usr/local/lib/?

Yup, no log folder exists. Directory structure stops at /teamspeak3-server_freebsd-x86/, inside I have 5 folders: doc, redist, serverquerydocs, sql, tsdns. There's 9 files also but no log folder.

When you first run the command to install TS3 server it spits out a log via cmd prompt. Did you check to see every step was successful? Did you reboot pfSense after that?

Beyond that I'm out of ideas. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm getting that SQL error which I think is not only keeping it from spitting out my key, but also keeping the server from starting/running properly. I think it has something to do with TS thinking there is an update when there isn't one, according to a google search of that specific error.

pfSense 2.1.5-RELEASE-pfSense (amd64)

Does it matter if I'm using the 64bit ? Could that be my problem?

kevev · Jan 15, 2015, 10:26 PM

I fixed the issue in the old scripts.

Be sure to uninstall the old version with the 1.0 script using the Removel option before uploading and installing from the new 1.1 scripts!

Let me know if the new version works or has issues. :)

Thanks kevev, but I'm still at stuck at the same issue, no log folder. Only thing i can think of is that I'm using the 64bit version of pfsense.

Did it on a brand new fresh install just in case too. Still no dice.

That's not good. Try it on a 32bit system or wait till I post the 64bit install scripts.
