TeamSpeak 3 for the x86 platform (ReadyNAS Pro/NVX)

thats great news.

now you just have to explain to us non experts exactly how/what to install on our readynas.

and how to start/stop the ts3 server. we need to do this to replace the database with one generated on another box, so we have the root admin.

btw the license is free if you are a non profit/gamer/etc. i have a 512 slot license and can run those slots over many servers (i forget how many, but more than i will ever need)

Full step by step guide on how I managed to get Teamspeak running on my Ultra 4 (x86)

! Make sure you got ssh access set up for your Readynas !

- Create a Teamspeak user using the webinterface of your readynas (Teamspeak doesn't like running from root user)
- SSH into you readynas using Putty (or something similar) and logon with your root user (by default with the ssh add-on this is your only user that can logon)
- Navigate to your prefered directory, for ex: /urs/local/src/

cd /usr/local/src/

- Go to the download page on the teamspeak website, select linux serer x86, click trough the next few pages until you get the download link and then copy and past this link. Using this link we can download it directly to our readynas:

wget http://teamspeak.gameserver.gamed.de/ts3/releases/3.0.6.1/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.6.1.tar.gz

- Unpack the file:

tar zxfv teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.6.1.tar.gz

- Setup ownership on the folder (replace Teamspeak with the teamspeak user you created earlier)

 chown Teamspeak:users -R teamspeak3-server_linux-x86

- Navigate into the directory:

cd teamspeak3-server_linux-x86

- Optional: Check if the library dependancies are met:

ldd -d ts3server_linux_x86

You should see something similar to this:

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7742000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xf7739000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7721000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf762b000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7605000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf75f8000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf74ba000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf774d000)

- Up the rights on /dev/shm (by default this only has root permissions, but teamspeak saves something of a license key in here and we'll be running teampseak under a normal user.

chmod 777 -R /dev/shm/ 

- Run teamspeak for the first time (again replace Teamspeak with your the user you created earlier):

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh start' Teamspeak

You should see something similar to this:

               Server Query Admin Account created

------------------------------------------------------------------

Copy this info and store it!

- Login to your new teamspeak server and provide the token key when your clients asks for it.

- Stopping teamspeak:

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh stop' Teamspeak

- Running teamspeak for the 2nd, 3rd, ...:

/bin/su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/src/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/ts3server_startscript.sh start' Teamspeak

* Things that need to be added and haven't got to yet:
- Automated startup script
- License key

great instructions, thanks!!

as far as the license key (which you only need if you want more than 1 server or more than 32 slots), once you register your non profit (which can be a gaming clan) they will give you the serverkey.dat file that is your key.

you just copy it to the root teamspeak directory, and restart the server, thats it.

dont do that.

this token is for server admin, as opposed to the query admin shown above.

what you want to do is, use this token yourself the first time you connect to the server to grant yourself normal admin privileges. it is a single use token.

the query admin is only used to create new server instances etc. which you wont normally want to do.

so this is confirmed to work?

Hi all...

Followed the instructions to the letter and get this:

in the logfile.

In the console windows it says:

Do you have the right TS3 Server package for your system? You have: Linux x86_64, not Linux i386.
ts3server.pid found, but no server running. Possibly your previously started server crashed

I dont get the IMPORTANT message at all...

btw, im running:

HostName: Hoa-nas-Pro
Modell: ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition [X-RAID2]
Fast programvara: RAIDiator 4.2.22

First off: At this point it is not confirmed to work for everyone, I've posted what worked for me.

Looks like you tried to run or ran Teamspeak under a dfferent user first (for example under the root user).

First make sure Teamspeak is completly shutdown, then check /dev/shm if there is file there. (There shouldn't be any when Teamspeak is shutdown). Make sure your user has the needed rights! The /dev/shm is essential in running Teamspeak 3 server, from the official documentation:

*** ATTENTION ***

In some cases, the server process terminates on startup and the error message reads 
"Server() error while starting servermanager, error: instance check error".

As long as you don't have a license key embededded we make sure you only run exactly 
one instance of the TS3 server free unregistered version. We use shared memory to 
facilitate the communication to detect other running instances, which requires tmpfs 
to be mounted at /dev/shm. If you (for whatever reason) do not have this mounted, the 
above error will occur.

To fix this problem, the following commands or file edits need to be done as root user 
(or using something like sudo). This is a temporary fix until your next reboot.

 mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm

Now, to make sure this mount is done automatically upon reboot edit the file /etc/fstab 
and add the line:

 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

If that checks out, delete the entire teamspeak folder, redownload and untar again, Make sure to only start it using the command from my post.

The instructions shown on page 3 worked perfectly for me and with only one small slowdown. That was that I had to go figure out how to enable SSH separately. Thank you very much for these foolproof, step-by-step instructions. I never would have been able to do all of that with vague instructions! :D

If it helps, my unit is a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus with firmware RAIDiator 4.2.22

This is the file to get the SSH access running:

http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin

Note that this is a link for x86 processors as that's what my ReadyNAS contains. This gets installed via the Frontview webpage following System>Update>Local.
