Enabling will allow more information to be displayed in *details* and enable monitor to use gamedig. Copy the query mode settings from `_default.cfg` to `common.cfg` and change `querymode`from `5` to `3`. ``` ## Query mode # 1: session only # 2: gamedig (gsquery fallback) # 3: gamedig # 4: gsquery # 5: tcp querymode="3" querytype="teamspeak3" ``` ## Connect to TeamSpeak 3 Server You can connect to a TeamSpeak 3 server to input commands without the need for a TeamSpeak 3 client. This can be done by connecting to the query port using telnet. Using PuTTY or equivalent select a telnet connection and enter the server IP and TeamSpeak 3 query port (default:10011). ### Useful Commands #### Login ``` login serveradmin ``` #### Generating a new Privilege key ``` use sid= tokenadd tokentype=0 tokenid1=6 tokenid2=0 ``` > Note: Your server ID is usually 1 #### Reset your query password See [change password](https://docs.linuxgsm.com/commands/change-password). ## TeamSpeak 3 Databases The TeamSpeak 3 database contains all user information, groups, and statistics for your server. ### SQLite Database By default, TeamSpeak 3 uses an SQLite database file, which allows good performance for most users, and easy server transfers from one server to another. This method is recommended for most admins as it is the simplest database method to use. ### MariaDB TeamSpeak 3 also allows admins to use MariaDB (MySQL alternative) manage the database. MariaDB is entirely optional and is not required so it is recommended that admins only use if they are comfortable. Information about installing TeamSpeak 3 with MariaDB can be found [here](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/setup-teamspeak-server-ubuntu-15-04). ### TSDNS TSDNS is a system allowing admins to redirect a domain name to a given TeamSpeak 3 port. If TeamSpeak 3 port is using the default port, you do not need to provide the port when you are giving your server address, you can use the IP or domain name directly. TSDNS is useful to admins that are hosting multiple TeamSpeak 3 servers on a single dedicated server. Further documentation can be found using the following command. ``` cat ~user/serverfiles/tsdns/tsdns_settings.ini.sample ``` Additional information can be found [here](http://lastconnect.net/en/tsdnsdoc/). Then you can copy the sample, edit it accordingly and restart your TeamSpeak 3 server to apply the changes. ``` cd serverfiles/tsdns/ cp tsdns_settings.ini.sample tsdns_settings.ini nano tsdns_settings.ini cd ~ ./ts3server restart ``` ## Known issues ### IPv6 Some users with IPv6 enabled might encounter a server failing to start properly. To fix this edit `serverfiles/ts3-server.ini` to add a standard IPv4 (`voice_ip; filetransfer_ip; query_ip`) and remove the `, ::` from IPv6. Then as the server failed to start at the installation, the privilege key hasn't been generated. So you will need to use server query (ID/Password have been generated for them) to generate a new Server Admin privilege key. ### Accounting failed to register ``` ERROR |Accounting | |failed to register local accounting service: File exists ``` If you find the above in the TeamSpeak 3 log you may need to remove the following file. ``` /dev/shm/7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8 ``` ### Server Crashed after a while (outdated and no licence) If the following message appears in the log of the Teamspeak 3 Linux Server `Error creating ephemeral license: EXPIRED` You need to upgrade the version of the TeamSpeak 3 Server to a more up-to-date version. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
