How to Install an Internet Speed Test Server on OMV5

In this post we’ll look at How to Install an Internet Speed Test Server on OMV5.

This is a pretty quick and easy container to setup. Open Portainer and paste this into a new Stack:

version: '2'
services:
  db:
    image: influxdb 
    container_name: influxdb
    networks:
      - default
    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Files/Config/SpeedTest:/var/lib/influxdb
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
      - INFLUXDB_DB=speedtest
    restart: unless-stopped
  web:
    image: kjake/internet-speedtest-docker:grafana
    container_name: speedweb
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    networks:
      - default
    environment:
      - GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://localhost
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=teste
    restart: unless-stopped
  testing:
    image: kjake/internet-speedtest-docker:speedtest
    container_name: speedtest
    networks:
      - default
    environment:
      - TEST_INTERVAL=300
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge

There are only a couple of things you’ll need to change. For instance, you’ll need to change this:

volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Files/Config/SpeedTest:/var/lib/influxdb

Change it to whatever your path is in the first half of that. For instance:

volumes:
      - /path/to/your/config/SpeedTest:/var/lib/influxdb

Also, the TEST_INTERVAL=300 tells the container to run a speed test every 300 seconds (or 5 minutes). You might change that to 3600 to test once per hour instead of every 5 minutes as 5 minute intervals are pretty frequent in my opinion.
