This guide covers the ts3server module in AlphaGSM.

ts3server is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection, and the validated Linux lifecycle stays aligned across both backends while local runs remain process-backed by default unless you opt into the Docker backend.

Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myts3serve create ts3server

Run setup:

alphagsm myts3serve setup

Start it:

alphagsm myts3serve start

Check it:

alphagsm myts3serve status

Stop it:

alphagsm myts3serve stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 10011)
the install directory

Useful Commands

alphagsm myts3serve update
alphagsm myts3serve backup

Notes

Module name: ts3server
Default port: 10011

Server variables

After create ts3server, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: ts3server
Location: <install_dir>/ts3server
Engine: Custom

Smoke and integration validation require an authenticated ServerQuery response: alphagsm info --json must report protocol ts3.

AlphaGSM reads first-start ServerQuery credentials from the selected runtime's logs, including Docker, without displaying them. Recovered credentials are saved in serverquery_admin_password.txt under the install directory with access restricted to its owner, so replacing the container retains query access. Keep this file with the server database when moving an installation.

Queries pace their commands to respect TeamSpeak's default flood limit. A health check takes about two seconds, allowing consecutive query and info calls from Docker without requiring an exemption from flood protection. Concurrent query clients or stricter custom limits still need coordinated polling.

Server Configuration

Config files: ts3server.ini
