jmacalinao/speedtestplusplus-influx repository overview

⁠Speedtestplusplus

A easy to setup speedtest worker for speedtest.net based on speedtestplusplus (https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest⁠).

As this supports raw tcp and aggressive multithreading it can act as a more precise replacement for the "standard" speedtest.net collector https://hub.docker.com/r/atribe/speedtest-for-influxdb-and-grafana/⁠ which are all based on the speedtest-cli by swivel.

Be nice, this is my first repo.

Blog: https://www.valki.com/dockerized-speedtest/⁠

Dockerimage @ Dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/valki/speedtestplusplus⁠

Github Sources: https://github.com/valki2/Speedtestplusplus⁠

⁠Installation instructions

⁠Optional: Build the image (as you may pull this image from dockerhub too)

git clone https://github.com/valki2/Speedtestplusplus

then enter the created repo and build your image

cd Speedtestplusplus

docker build --tag="valki/speedtestplusplus" .

⁠Set up your docker network

To tangle everything together please create a network for your containers called speedtestnet. You can click through a tool like portainer or just use the docker command somehow like this:

docker network create speedtestnet --driver=bridge --subnet=172.29.99.0/22 --ip-range=172.29.99.0/25 --gateway=172.29.99.1 

⁠Fire up the docker containers

In order to store the collected data we need an influxdb container... or feel free to use your existing instead!

docker run --name influxdb --hostname influxdb --net speedtestnet -d --restart always -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password -e INFLUXDB_DB=speedtest -v speedtest_influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb influxdb:1.5

Finally fire up your speedtestplusplus worker container

docker run -d --name=speedtest --net speedtestnet -d --restart always -e SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL=600 -e SPEEDTEST_HOST=local valki/speedtestplusplus

SPEEDTEST_HOST is to distinct multiple instances in one database

SPEEDTEST_INTERVALL is the time in seconds between the tests

TESTSERVER is use a specific testserver (https://telcodb.net/explore/speedtest-servers/⁠) instead of letting the tool find the best one. Example: -e TESTSERVER=speedtest.telfs.com:8080

⁠Optional - Grafana

You may want a grafana instance for your funny little trees eeeh dashboard...

docker run --name grafana --hostname grafana --net speedtestnet -d --restart always -p 3000:3000 -v speedtest_grafana:/etc/grafana/provisioning -v grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana -e GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://localhost -e GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin -e GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true grafana/grafana:latest

⁠Configure Grafana Dashboard

1. Login with admin:admin and set a new password!
2. Create a new dashboard with the attached json code
