e7db/speedtest

Some decent server CPU
Using HTTPS is highly discouraged, adding an heavy packet size and computing overhead
Using server compression is also discouraged, adding a computing overhead

Configuration

You can configure the speed test server following your needs. Find below the list of configurable options through the file config.json available at the root level of the server.
The key corresponds to the JSON path where to affect the value. For example, setting the value 2000 for the key download.delay corresponds to the following JSON:

{
  "download": {
    "delay": 2000
  }
}

List of configurable options:

Key	Description	Default value	Possible values
analytics.trackingId	The Google Analytics tracking ID to use on the speed test.		"UA-XXXXXXXX-Y" or empty.
ignoreErrors	Ignore the errors yielded by upload/download requests. If false, the test will be aborted at the first error.	true	true or false.
endpoints	The available endpoints list.		See Endpoints configuration below.
endpoint.xhr	The endpoint to request for XHR.	current location	Any http:// or https:// endpoint exposing this speed test.
endpoint.websocket	The endpoint to request for WebSocket.	current location	Any ws:// or wss:// endpoint exposing this speed test.
ip.path	The path of the IP test on the XHR endpoint.	ip
latency.path	The path of the latency test on the WebSocket endpoint.	ping
latency.count	The count of latency requests to emit during the latency test.	null	Any positive integer.
latency.duration	The duration in milliseconds of the latency test.	5000	Any positive integer.
latency.gracetime	The duration in milliseconds at start of the latency test during which results are ignored. Used for test warm-up.	1000	Any positive integer.
download.path	The path of the download test on the XHR endpoint.	download
download.streams	The number of concurrent streams to use during the download test.	6	Any positive integer.
download.delay	The delay in milliseconds between the first request of each stream.	200	Any positive integer.
download.duration	The duration in milliseconds of the download test.	10000	Any positive integer.
download.gracetime	The duration in milliseconds at start of the download test during which results are ignored. Used for test warm-up.	2000	Any positive integer.
download.size	The size in bytes downloaded on each download request.	8388608 (8M)	Any positive integer.
download.adjustSize	Auto adjust download packets size, depending on bandwidth.	true
download.minSize	The minimum size in bytes downloaded on each download request, to avoid excessively small requests.	1048576 (1M)	Any positive integer.
download.maxSize	The maximum size in bytes downloaded on each download request, to avoid excessively huge requests.	104857600 (100M)	Any positive integer.
upload.path	The path of the upload test on the XHR endpoint.	upload
upload.streams	The number of concurrent streams to use during the upload test.	6	Any positive integer.
upload.delay	The delay in milliseconds between the first request of each stream.	200	Any positive integer.
upload.duration	The duration in milliseconds of the upload test.	10000	Any positive integer.
upload.gracetime	The duration in milliseconds at start of the upload test during which results are ignored. Used for test warm-up.	2000	Any positive integer.
upload.size	The size in bytes uploaded on each upload request.	20971520 (2M)	Any positive integer.
upload.adjustSize	Auto adjust upload packets size, depending on bandwidth.	true
upload.minSize	The minimum size in bytes uploaded on each upload request, to avoid excessively small requests.	262144 (256K)	Any positive integer.
upload.maxSize	The maximum size in bytes uploaded on each upload request, to avoid excessively huge requests.	20971520 (20M)	Any positive integer.
result.path	The path of the save result request on the XHR endpoint.	save

Docker

Run the Speed Test container

docker run --name speedtest -d -p 80:80 e7db/speedtest

Store the results permanently

To store results permanently, you need a volume:

docker volume create speedtest_results
docker run --name speedtest -d -p 80:80 -v speedtest_results:/app/results e7db/speedtest

Note: Results are never cleaned automatically, used space will grow over time.

Use a custom configuration

To use a custom configuration through the config.json file, mount it through a read-only volume:

docker run --name speedtest -d -p 80:80 -v /path/to/config.json:/app/web/config.json:ro e7db/speedtest
