README

ts3web is a free and open-source web interface for TeamSpeak 3 instances.

The minimalistic approach of this application is intentional.

• Docker images available on https://hub.docker.com/r/varakh/ts3web
• Sources are hosted on https://gitlab.com/varakh/ts3web

Limitations

Features which are currently not supported:

• upload files (only viewing and deleting)
• modify permissions (only viewing)

F.A.Q

There are lots of TeamSpeak 3 web interfaces out. Why should I pick ts3web?

Free, simple, stateless, easy to extend, standard bootstrap theme.

I always get TSException: Error: host isn't a ts3 instance! when selecting a server.

You probably got query banned from your server. You need to properly define your whitelist.txt file and include it in your TeamSpeak application.

Configuration

The main configuration file is the env file located in config/. There's an example file called env.example which you *need to copy to config/env. Defaults will assume you're running your TeamSpeak server on localhost with default port. Docker deployments can host bind this file into the container directly and just maintain the env file.

Deployment

The application can be deployed in different ways. See below for more information. For each deployment type a running TeamSpeak 3 instance is a prerequisite (except for the docker-compose.yml type which will start also the server if needed).

Exposed volumes on docker images

• Snapshots are saved in /var/www/html/application/data/snapshots. You should create a volume for this location if you're using docker as deployment type.
• Logs are saved in /var/www/html/application/log for docker containers. You should create a volume for this location if you're using docker as deployment type.

Important: Ensure that host binds have permissions set up properly. The user which is used in the docker container is www-data with id 82. If, e.g. logs are host bound, then execute chown -R 82:82 host/path/to/log. The same holds true for snapshots.

Usage with docker-compose

The recommended way is to use docker-compose. The network_mode = "host" is required in order to show correct IP addresses of connected users.

1. The web interface will not be able to use localhost as TeamSpeak 3 server address because it's not available in a docker container not using the host network. Thus thewhitelist.txt must include your public TeamSpeak 3 server IP for this example setup.
2. The public address also has to match the environment variable teamspeak_host=your-public-address within the env file referenced in the example docker-compose.

version: '2'
networks:
  teamspeak:
    external: false
services:
  app:
    container_name: teamspeak_app
    image: teamspeak:latest
    volumes:
      - ./app:/var/ts3server
      - ./whitelist.txt:/whitelist.txt
    ports:
      - 10011:10011
      - 30033:30033
      - 9987:9987/udp
    environment:
      - TS3SERVER_LICENSE=accept
      - TS3SERVER_IP_WHITELIST=/whitelist.txt
    restart: always
    network_mode: "host"
  web:
    container_name: teamspeak_web
    image: teamspeak_web:latest
    volumes:
      - ./env:/var/www/html/application/config/env
      - ./snapshots:/var/www/html/application/data/snapshots
      - ./log:/var/www/html/application/log
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:8181:80
    depends_on:
      - app
    restart: always
    networks:
      - teamspeak

Now execute docker-compose up -d to start those containers. If you like to update, do docker-compose down, docker-compose pull and then docker-compose up -d again.

Your TeamSpeak 3 Server will be available under public-server-ip:9987. The web interface will be available on 127.0.0.1:8181. You need to add a reverse proxy and probably you also want SSL configured if you expose it via domain. For testing purposes, change - 127.0.0.1:8181:80 to - 8181:80. The web interface will then be available under public-server-ip:8181. This is not recommended! Secure your setup properly via reverse proxy and SSL.

Usage as single docker container

• Copy env.example to env and adjust to your needs. It's recommended to make it persistent outside of the container.
• Create a container with the image, e.g. docker run --name teamspeak_web -v ./env:/var/www/html/application/config/env -p 8181:80 varakh/ts3web:latest.
• Make sure that if teamspeak and ts3web share the same docker instance they should be put into one network and the subnet needs be added to teamspeak's query whitelist.
• Point your browser to 8181 to see the web interface.

Usage as native application

Prerequisite: php, composer and probably php-fpm installed on the server.

To install:

• Clone repository
• Change directory to project home
• Execute composer install
• composer install
• Use a web server or run directly via PHP server: php -S localhost:8080 -t public public/index.php (point browser to localhost:8080)

To upgrade:

• Change directory to project home
• git pull
• composer update

Web server setup

• Example nginx.conf for standalone deployment without SSL:

  root   .../public;
  index index.php;    
  
  rewrite_log on;
  
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @ee;
  }
  
  location @ee {
    rewrite ^(.*) /index.php?$1 last;
  }
  
  # php fpm
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
    include        fastcgi_params;
  }
  

• Example nginx.conf as reverse proxy with SSL:

  server {
      listen      443 ssl http2;
      server_name teamspeak.domain.tld;
  
      ssl on;
      ssl_certificate fullchain.pem;
      ssl_certificate_key privkey.pem;
  
      location / {
          proxy_pass http://localhost:8181;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header Host $host;
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
      }
  }
  

Development

Release

• Set a date in the CHANGELOG.md file
• Build the docker image from the project home with docker build -t varakh/ts3web:latest -f docker/Dockerfile . and publish it
• Tag the release git commit and create a new release in the VCS web interface

Helpers

Attributes can be defined when including table, keyvalues and form templates of twig. This helps to generate tables and forms without the need to specify all attributes.

hiddenDependingOnAttribute // hides a row depending on a value in a table
hiddenColumns // hides an entire column depending on a key in a table
links // generates a link for a specific cell in a table or keyvalue
additional_links // generates extra columns in a table
filters // applies filters depending on a key in a table or key value view
attributesEditable // define editable attributes in the key value view
fields // define fields for a form

See example usage in the folder View/bootstrap4.

Translations

• This app uses Symfony Translator. It's bootstrapped in Util\BootstrapHelper and locales are placed under data/locale/. Adjust to your needs or help translating.
• Form fields (name/id should be the same) are also translated. For a field named content or ConT enT translate form_field_content.

Theme

Themes can be chosen in the env file by editing the theme variable. Templates are mapped to the corresponding view folder in src/View/<themeName>. .css, .js and other style files like .ttf or .woff2 for fonts should be placed in public/theme/<themeName> and accessed accordingly. See an example in src/View/boostrap4/layout.twig.
