Python script to monitor your internet speed! ๐
Periodically run librespeed/speedtest-cli and send results to InfluxDB.
Note The assumption is made that you've already setup
InfluxDB 2.x.x. Alternatively, you can use the Docker Compose method where this is setup for you.
List available server IDs:
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/dbrennand/speeder:latest /librespeed --listNext, start and configure speeder using the environment variables:
docker run -itd --rm --name speeder \
-e "SPEEDER_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL=300" \
-e "SPEEDER_SPEEDTEST_SERVER_ID=49" \
-e "SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_HOST=influx.example.com" \
-e "SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_TOKEN=<Token>" \
-e "SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_ORG=speeder" \
-e "SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_BUCKET=speeder" \
ghcr.io/dbrennand/speeder:latestThe speeder script is configured using the below environment variables:
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
SPEEDER_SPEEDTEST_INTERVAL |
Interval in seconds to run speedtests on. | 300 |
SPEEDER_SPEEDTEST_SERVER_ID |
Server ID to run speedtests against. Supports multiple IDs using a comma separated string. | "" |
SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_HOST |
InfluxDB hostname. | influxdb |
SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_PORT |
InfluxDB port. | 8086 |
SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_TOKEN |
InfluxDB token. | root |
SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_ORG |
InfluxDB organisation name. | speeder |
SPEEDER_INFLUXDB_BUCKET |
InfluxDB bucket name to write speedtest results to. | speeder |
The docker-compose.yml file in this repository will deploy speeder, InfluxDB 2.7.1 and Grafana containers. Grafana will be provisioned with InfluxDB as the data source and the pre-created dashboard:
-
Set the
SPEEDER_SPEEDTEST_SERVER_IDenvironment variable located in the .env file to the server IDs to perform speedtests against.Note
If you don't know any server IDs, run the following command to list them:
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/dbrennand/speeder:latest /librespeed --list
-
Set the
DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD,DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKENandGF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORDenvironment variables located in the .env file. -
Start the compose stack:
docker compose up -d
Grafana will be accessible at http://localhost:3000 and your host's IP address.
I did NOT create the LibreSpeed project or CLI. The great folks over at LibreSpeed did.
