Need help with the docker compose setup for TeamSpeak 6

TeamSpeak 6 Server
,
1

I’m trying to set up my TeamSpeak 6 server with Docker Compose, but I can’t configure it the way I want.

  1. I don’t want to use Docker volumes; I just want to store the server files in a host folder because it’s simpler for me. When I mount the folder instead of using volumes, I get a permission error.
  2. I’m trying to add the GeoIP database, but the server reports that the required libraries are missing. How do I add the GeoIP database to TeamSpeak 6? I managed to do this for TeamSpeak 3 by building the image myself.

Here is my Docker Compose file:

services:
  teamspeak6:
    image: teamspeaksystems/teamspeak6-server:latest
    container_name: teamspeak6-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:

      - 30034:30034/tcp # File transfer port

  1. [FR] Better handling of user permissions in docker · Issue #30 · teamspeak/teamspeak6-server · GitHub
  2. geoipupdate/doc/docker.md at main · maxmind/geoipupdate · GitHub

EDIT1: Ah…I was mistaken for #2 and that’s not relevant for the problem.
EDIT2: I was able to rebuild the image to include the libraries and it appears to be working:

FROM teamspeaksystems/teamspeak6-server:latest

USER root
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y libmaxminddb0 libmaxminddb-dev mmdb-bin && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

USER 9987

2025-12-20 22:13:33.725759|INFO |GeoIP | |mmdb database found and will be used for geoip lookups

And opened an issue on Github:

Oh, I had no idea you could take an image and then build from that, and I see now what’s going on with the file perms.

Thank you very much :slight_smile:
