How To Install Sinusbot For Teamspeak 3 On Debian

[Sova]

Requirements:

• Debian 8 VPS with 64-bit (amd64) architecture.
  
  
• Open port 8087.
  
  
• 5-10 minutes.
  
  
• The bot uses about 40 MB of RAM and 15 MB of HDD, the remainder of the space can be used for songs.
  

Installing Sinusbot:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install x11vnc xinit xvfb libxcursor1 ca-certificates bzip2 curl libglib2.0-0 nano sudo screen

Since it is dangerous to run the program as root, create a user exclusively for Sinusbot and give it a password:

Code:

adduser --disabled-login ts3bot
passwd ts3bot

Make a directory for the program, I recommend /opt/ts3soundboard.Give ownership to the ts3bot user:

Code:

mkdir -p /opt/ts3soundboard
chown ts3bot:ts3bot /opt/ts3soundboard

Going forward, we will be working with the ts3bot user. Let's give permissions to run some required commands as root:

Code:

visudo

You will see a file similar to the following appear in a text editor:

Code:

#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
# directly modifying this file.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults        env_reset
Defaults        mail_badpass
Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:$

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification

At the end of the file, add the following line:

Code:

ts3bot    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Now, save your changes with Ctrl+O and Enter, then Ctrl+X and Enter. Then, login as ts3bot with following command:

Code:

su ts3bot
cd /opt/ts3soundboard

We are now in the directory where we will install Sinusbot and Teamspeak, so let's start with Sinusbot:

Code:

curl -O https://frie.se/ts3bot/sinusbot-0.9.8.tar.bz2
tar -xjf sinusbot-0.9.8.tar.bz2
cp config.ini.dist config.ini

Code:

Done. Continue to the next section for Teamspeak.

Installing Teamspeak and Youtube-DL:
As we are setting up a music bot for Teamspeak 3, we also need the Teamspeak 3 application and youtube-dl to play the music to server. Download both and give them permissions to run the set-up:

Code:

wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.18.2/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.18.2.run
sudo chmod 755 TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.18.2.run
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Run the TS installer:

Code:

./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.18.2.run

Final configuration:

Now, we have all we need for running the bot, let's configure it to run properly:

Code:

nano config.ini

Update the config.ini file to include the directories of Teamspeak3 and youtube-dl:

Code:

TS3Path = "/opt/ts3soundboard/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_linux_amd64"

YoutubeDLPath = "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl"

Save the file and exit nano. Move a music-playing plugin to the Teamspeak directory:

Code:

cp plugin/libsoundbot_plugin.so /opt/ts3soundboard/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/plugins

Edit permissions for the Sinusbot program and check for updates:

Code:

sudo chmod 755 ts3bot
./ts3bot -update

You can start the program and play music now, but it will close after closing your SSH client. You may run it in a screen session to prevent it from closing when you quit your SSH session.

Code:

su root
screen
su ts3bot

Run the following command to start Sinusbot:

Code:

xinit /opt/ts3soundboard/ts3bot -- /usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x16 -ac

You will see the program output some start-up information. At this point, it's running. You can now access the web-interface with your browser, where you can upload and play songs. Navigate to:

Code:

http://your-server-ip:8087/

The default login for the web interface is admin as the user, and foobar for the password. Newer versions of Sinusbot do not use the foobar password, instead they print a random password to the console on the first startup. Remember to change the password immediately.
