How to update your TeamSpeak 3 Server

  1. You have to stop the current server instance first.
    (Do not kill the process or else you will not be able to start your new server for the next 2-3 hours!)
How to shut down your server

These are official supported ways to shutdown the whole server.
All ways will shutdown the whole instance and will report, that slots are not used anymore.

All operation systems:
In the ServerQuery interface you can enter the command serverprocessstop

Linux:
The command ./ts3server_startscript.sh stop when your server was started with ./ts3server_startscript.sh start

Windows: Right-click into the Server Tray Icon → Then press Exit

  1. It’s always good to have a backup so lets make one first before we go on with step 3.
    Create a copy of the ts3server.sqlitedb or make a dump of your Maria Database

  2. Download the server from our website

  3. Extract the server without using any Root / Admin account

  4. Copy all extracted files to old server folder and overwrite the old file.
    Open the redist folder and copy/move the files to the root folder from the server in case you want to use MariaDB

  5. Start the server instance again and it’ll be up to date.

Full documentation about this process:

Another description of the process can be found inside doc folder of the server.
There you will find a server_upgrade.txt wit all details needed to update a server.

I made this script two years ago. Might be helpful for some fellas :slight_smile:

#!/bin/bash
TS_USER=teamspeak

/etc/init.d/teamspeak stop
su $TS_USER -c "mkdir -p ~/backups/"
su $TS_USER -c "tar cfvz ~/backups/latest.tar.gz ~/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64"
su $TS_USER -c "wget $(curl -s https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/#server | grep -o 'https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/.*/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-.*.tar.bz2' | head -n1) -O ~/latest.tar.bz2"
su $TS_USER -c "tar -xjf ./latest.tar.bz2 -C ~"
/etc/init.d/teamspeak start
