bitinggoatsoft/lanspeed repository overview

⁠LANSpeed — Docker Image

LANSpeed is a fast, cross-platform LAN speed tester by BitingGoat Software⁠.
This image runs the server daemon — install it on your NAS or any Linux host, then test from the LANSpeed app on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android.

⁠Quick Start

⁠docker-compose.yml (recommended)

services:
  lanspeed:
    image: bitinggoatsoft/lanspeed:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host          # REQUIRED for mDNS auto-discovery
    environment:
      - LANSPEED_PORT=15201     # speed test port (TCP)
      - LANSPEED_WEB_PORT=15280 # web status UI port (HTTP)
      - LANSPEED_MDNS=1         # set to 0 to disable mDNS

docker compose up -d
# Web UI: http://<your-nas-ip>:15280

⁠One-liner

docker run -d --name lanspeed --network host \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e LANSPEED_PORT=15201 \
  -e LANSPEED_WEB_PORT=15280 \
  bitinggoatsoft/lanspeed:latest

⁠Ports

⁠Environment Variables

⁠⚠ Network Mode: Host Required for Auto-Discovery

mDNS uses multicast packets (224.0.0.251) which cannot cross NAT.
If you run the container in bridge/NAT mode, phones and desktops on your LAN will not auto-discover the server.

Fix: use network_mode: host (or "Host" in your NAS container manager GUI).

Alternative: disable mDNS (LANSPEED_MDNS=0) and use Direct Connect in the LANSpeed app — enter your NAS IP and port 15201 manually.

⁠QNAP / Synology

In Container Station (QNAP) or Docker (Synology):

1. Create a new container from bitinggoatsoft/lanspeed:latest
2. Set Network Mode → Host
3. Add environment variables: LANSPEED_PORT=15201, LANSPEED_WEB_PORT=15280, LANSPEED_MDNS=1
4. Start the container
5. Open http://<your-nas-ip>:15280 to see the web UI

⁠Architecture

The image is built from a multi-stage Rust build on Alpine and runs from scratch — no OS layer, minimal attack surface (~5 MB compressed).

Supported platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64
