The first step is make sure you've installed all requirements. What are those requirements? I've saw a similar project on git and it had most things explained step by step. Can someone add some detail as to what the requirements are?

Trying to get this running on a raspberry pi fails due to what I suspect to be the wrong grafana version:
grafana | standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error" grafana exited with code 1

I'm a bit new to this and am working on solving it but not getting terribly far.

Local

$ speed-test -j | jq
{
  "ping": 4,
  "download": 834.4,
  "upload": 915.5
}

Docker container

$ docker-compose exec speedtest speed-test -j | jq
{
  "ping": 12,
  "download": 267.2,
  "upload": 264.9
}

It would be awesome if you could provide a docker image on hub.docker.com.
For deployment it will then be no longer necessary to clone and build the project ourselfes.
The docs how to setup an automated build are here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/
If you have any questions, hit me up.

Hi, I have installed and set up the Grafana Dashboard and it works fine.
I would like to add email alerts and in order to do this, I need to edit the grafana.ini file. However, this file does not exist with this install. I have checked all the folders and I cannot find the file.

I have spent hours googling and trying to find how to resolve it.
Please can someone help with my issue?

Thanks in advance.

I got this to run on a rpi4 with a modified docker-compose.yml, just needed to build the "speedtest" container on the rpi4 instead of pulling it from the repository to make it work.

Now I observe the following problem:
After some days/weeks, the speedtest container stops adding new data to the influxdb. In the logs I can see the speedtest container restart due to the node index.js command exiting with some error related to name resolution. No problem with that, shit happens, maybe network is temporarily down for some reason etc..

The "speedtest" container is then automatically restarted as it should be, but does not continue doing its job of performing speed tests, I cant figure out why... docker-compose down + docker-compose up fixes it.

I think the problem is connected to the SIGTERM, see the log below. This happens in the first iteration after the container is restarted.

Any ideas?

Please consider giving option via envionment variable to run again specific target. One can pass speedtest server ID and then server tests against that.

Example of test against specific server:

docker run --rm moutten/speedtest-cli --list | grep Airtel | grep Mumbai
 2827) Bharti Airtel Ltd (Mumbai, India) [13.76 km]
19081) Airtel Broadband (Mumbai, India) [13.76 km]

This shows ID of the server - 2827 and 19081.

Hi There,

The README lists one of the environment variables as SPEEDTEST_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL but this is actually referenced in the code as SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL. the .env.sample and docker-compose.yml also reference this as SPEEDTEST_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL and $SPEEDTEST_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL but this should just be SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL?

Thanks!

Trying to use the docker-compose file as-is and the error I'm getting in the grafana container logs is:

Hi,

My speedtest doesn't seem to be running, but I have access to the Grafana gui.

I'm running this inside an LXC container based on the Turnkey Core image.

Logs below:

Thank You
Maybe, You could make a Synology install package for this, Please ?

Hi There,
Thanks for the great docker container for this! I have a couple of feature suggestions if I may?

(1) Currently the container writes 3 seperate measurements to Influx (upload, download and ping), when it would be better to write this as a single "speedtest" measurement with upload, download and ping results in a single row within InfluxDB. This way, you can get the download/upload/ping results obtained from a single speedtest measurement from one row in grafana (rather than 3 seperate queries across 3 seperate measurements)
(2) The JSON result from the speedtest command actually contains a lot more data that would also be great to log in the InfluxDB and could lead to much more analysis options such as data sent/received, logging the server that performed the speedtest, plotting results on a map using city/country etc .

The JSON returned by the speedtest command is as per below so I've also suggested how you may write these fields to Influx, again all as a single row in a "speedtest" or "results" measurement as per suggestion (1):

{
	"type":"result",
	"timestamp":<timestamp>,
	"ping":
	{
		"jitter":<ping.jitter>
		"latency":<ping.latency>
	},
	"download":
	{
		"bandwidth":<download.bandwith>
		"bytes":<download.bytes>
		"elapsed":<download.elapsed>
	},
	"upload":
	{
		"bandwidth":<upload.bandwith>
		"bytes":<upload.bytes>
		"elapsed":<upload.elapsed>
	},
	"packetLoss":<packetLoss>
	"isp":<isp>
	"interface":
	{
		"internalIp":<interface.internalIp>,
		"name":<interface.name>,
		"macAddr":<interface.macAddr>,
		"isVpn":<interface.isVpn>,
		"externalIp":<interface.externalIp>
	},
	"server":
	{
		"id":<server.id>,
		"name":<server.name>,
		"location":<server.location>,
		"country":<server.country>,
		"host":<server.host>,
		"port":<server.port>,
		"ip":<server.ip>
	},
	"result":
	{
		"id":<result.id>,
		"url":<result.url>
	}
}

Obviously the above would be "breaking changes" for any existing databases / grafana dashboards so perhaps the more extensive results above could be controlled with a "Verbose" environment variable? This would also enable users to select whether they want all the additional data or just the simple upload/download/ping results?

(3) A minor niggle but the current name of the image frdmn/docker-speedtest-grafana implies grafana is included/required but actually it isn't and the container can be run with an external grafana or indeed without grafana at all?

Thanks for your consideration!

It would be nice if we could have a list of speedtest serverids that it would loop through rather than just relying on a single speedtest server for every test. I think a maximum of 3 would be great and having it move to the next serverid in the list each time it performs the test would give a better overall result than just hitting the same server every time.

I fixed the 502 error by changing the influxdb host to the IP of my device on the 'docker-speedtest-grafana/docker/grafana/provisioning/datasources/influxdb.yml' file. However, now all the widgets are showing me the "No data" message.

Could you please suggest some tests or troubleshooting steps in order to check why is happening this issue?

Thanks in advance.

It would be nice to have a working image and configuration when I already have Influxdb and Grafana running so that I can only set Grafana host, Influxdb and database name.

Also you should provide the Grafana Dashboard JSON export
Thank you

Hello,

i am using this docker compose setup now since around 1 week.
what i noticed, and i can not figure out why this happens, is that the test results are matching my manual tests on the start of the containers.

but at some point, the docker tests are at around 100mbit/s, which is not matching my manual test in that moment then. (i use ookla for the manual test and downloading test files from my own dedicated server at hetzner in germany) both gives me a result of around 170mbit/s.

when i delete the entire container setup, and set it up from scratch, also the docker containers show this value again.

is there anything someone here has as an idea what goes wrong with my setup?

Kind regards
Gardosen

Please consider adding a feature where we can define multiple speed test server and it tests against those sequentially. One can define the speed test server using the ID.

I would love to have a test report from a couple of servers in India, Europe, US and Singapore.

I assume this means I can specify the speedtest.net host to use.
Where do I get the list of hostnames?
I would like to test against a particular host (Cleveland Broadband)

I want to run the test once a day in the middle of the night so I do not max out my connection for a test during the day when I may be working or streaming.

Is there a config to set the speed test to run at a specified time?

hi Team,

We are following error when we deploy the speedtest server. Any help would be much appreciated.

Speedtest appears to prompt for licence acceptance often!

speedtest | Command failed with exit code 2: speedtest --accept-license --accept-gdpr -f json
It looks like either my IP address has been blacklisted for excessive requests to speedtest-cli (My broadband is bad so I've been monitoring a lot over the last monitoring a lot lately)
Anyone got a solution for interpreting this JSON response and accepting the prompt?
My short term solution is to have a cron job stopping and starting the containers every 6 hours or so.
Thanks in advance!

i want to add more muliti segments like below server info，but now only support 2 segments， will support？

Hi,

For those of us with existing InfluxDB and Grafana containers/services, Is it possible to run the Speedtest Docker image without creating new InfluxDB and grafana containers?

Looking at your docker-compose.yml it looks to create 3 separate containers for Speedtest, influx and grafana so can I assume that by only using “frdmn/speedtest-grafana“, the Speedtest would run on its own and if so, how to specify an existing external InfluxDB host/port/username/password/database to write to?

Thanks!

upload and ping example

SELECT mean("value") FROM "upload" WHERE $timeFilter and host = 'local' GROUP BY time($interval) fill(null)
SELECT mean("value") FROM "ping" WHERE $timeFilter and host = 'local' GROUP BY time($interval) fill(null)

This is how docker-compose.yml looks like:

speedtest:
    restart: always
    image: frdmn/speedtest-grafana:latest
    container_name: speedtest
    environment:
      - "SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL=${SPEEDTEST_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL}"
      - "SPEEDTEST_HOST=${SPEEDTEST_HOST}"
    depends_on:
      - influxdb

1. Where does ${SPEEDTEST_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL} come from? (.env file?)
2. How can I change the values while running via docker-compose up? Is it possible to change the interval without stopping and deleting everything and (with edited .env file) starting from scratch?

Great work by the way
Thanks
