TS3 upstart script and general setup for Debian based distro

1. Install TS3 into /opt/teamspeak. Make sure the permissions on a directory are sensible.
2. Make a symbolic link from TS3 binary to ts3server_linux
I.e.

Code:

---

ln -s /opt/teamspeak/ts3server_linux_x86 /opt/teamspeak/ts3server_linux

---

3. Create a system user named "teamspeak" with home directory /var/lib/teamspeak
4. Copy ts3.ini from distribution to the user home directory.
5. Uncomment and adjust the following lines exactly as shown:

Code:

---

query_ip=127.0.0.1
query_port=10011
logpath=/var/log/teamspeak
dbsqlpath=/opt/teamspeak/sql/
dbsqlcreatepath=create_sqlite
licensepath=/var/lib/teamspeak
query_ip_whitelist=/var/lib/teamspeak/query_ip_whitelist.txt
query_ip_blacklist=/var/lib/teamspeak/query_ip_blacklist.txt
query_skipbruteforcecheck=1
logquerycommands=1

---

Pay close attention to dbsql* settings, they are most backwards and most important.

6. Create /var/log/teamspeak directory.
7. chown teamspeak:adm /var/log/teamspeak
8. Install /etc/init/teamspeak.conf as follows:

Code:

---

            exit 1
        }
    test -r "$CONFFILE" || {
            /usr/bin/logger -ist $UPSTART_JOB -p user.err -- "TeamSpeak3 main configuration file is missing. Check \$HOME path and setuid name."
            exit 1
        }
    /usr/bin/logger -ist $UPSTART_JOB -- "Attempting to start '$DAEMON' from '$CONFFILE'"
end script
