Teamspeak 3 Server Build

[AnR34L]

How can I build a TS3 Server? And can I also run Clients on it? So as an example a Bot? 

What is a cheap solution?

I really don't need much so I would suggest going with an amd quad core apu (for hoking up an monitor) and like 4 gigs of ram with some cheap motherboard. as for drives if u have a cheap laptop harddrive laying around use that if not just buy a cheap 500 gig one

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't take my word for it but I think thats more then enough for what ur using it for, If I were u I would wait for more replies because if one persons says this its not always correct

I'm also looking at building a TS3 server. If someone else could reply, this would really help me out as well. Thanks!

I can't really give you a guide on how to do all that stuff, but as I'm planning to build one myself in about 2 weeks, I'll let you know what I did in order to complete the server.

 

But I can tell you my specs I'm planning to run the server on (an old All-in-One PC i found on eBay ^^):

 

Intel Atom N270 @ 1,6 GHz (Dual-Core)

2GB DDR2 RAM

32GB SSD

 

I did a little bit of research and given that everything I read was correct, this should be fine for about 10-15 people to be speaking on simultaneously. One of the main reasons I picked it, was its low power consumption @ around 15 watts. This should make my electrical bill a little bit cheaper

 

I hope I remember to keep you updated, I may open up a new thread in another topic (so you should keep an eye on that). I think all of my parts will arrive in about 3-6 days, the build should be done in around 2 weeks (maybe a bit less, but there are always some problems D:)

If you only have 10-15 people on your server that's a huge waste but to each there own.

If you could tag us, that would be great! Good Luck on your project.

I don't think its a huge waste, as im saving costs through lower power consumption. Also I want to have a (sort of) easier start in the whole server making stuff, as im fairly new to this topic.

"Server making stuff that's not making a TS server.. a TS server is like literally pressing a few buttons. So first part doesn't make any sense because if you went a server there's no power consumption and ot's only about $4 a month for a 20 person server here. Maybe if you had more people it would be worth to get a box.

I dont see the point of renting a server. Here in Germany the servers cost a lot more if you want the things I like to have, so it would be cheaper in the first few months. This server will (hopefully) last longer than 2-3 years, and even if I dont need the TS server anymore, I still have the option to do other stuff on it.

Also I may want to form a CSGO team and would propably fill up the server even more. So the only limit I have in this matter is the 32 slot limit

one of my VMs is running a TS server.

Its got 2 cores, 2gb ram and runs ubuntu 14.10

 

The server gets 20-30 people on it, 

I rarely see CPU above 7-8%
and RAM sits at about 350mb but occasionally hit 500mb

Literally all it takes is a cheap computer, almost no power at all. There are some people who run servers off of a Raspberry Pi (although it's a bit of a pain because it's not officially supported).

It's pretty much as simple as just running an .exe on whatever you have laying around for it.

Keep in mind that the free version of Teamspeak server only supports 32 people connected to it at max. If you want more than that you need to get a license from them. Mumble is another alternative that many people prefer that is open source and allows unlimited connections, the only limiting factor is your internet and hardware.

I originally wanted to run the server on a Raspberry Pi, but I didn't want to deal with the emulation stuff. Mumble would have been a great alternative there, problem is that nobody knows it or wants to install it.

You can get a 500 user non-profit license for teamspeak easily enough

Just gonna throw it out there.....Discord is free hosted, great quality audio and does everything you probably need from TeamSpeak.

You can connect to Discord via a weblink, the computer client, or a mobile app.

 

It's also significantly easier to configure

 

TeamSpeak uses hardly any resource either, so hope you aren't paying for power on a dedicated box just to run a TS3 server.

Nah, I want to run some other things (or rather try) on it too. Like a NAS or a Gameserver. Dunno about Gameservers, as they may need more power. But with this I have the option to try it for free, so why not

So, its finally done! Here you can see the step-by-step guide: http://snakefist007.blogspot.de/

I dunno why I can't post this in this forum here, I always get blocked. I think its probably the script thats preventing the post. I'll have a look into it tomorrow, and will create a post  in the Tutorial section aswell

 

Until then, I hope everything works and I didn't make too much mistakes
