Speedtest to InfluxDB
Easy setup to run speedtest-cli and push the results to your InfluxDB instance. Images provided for the following platforms:
linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v6, linux/arm/v7
Breaking it down
Before starting it is good to know that for influxdb the following structure is being used by this script:
Measurement: speedtests
| Tags | Values |
|---|---|
| host | download |
| isp_name | upload |
| isp_ip | ping |
| isp_lon | |
| isp_lat | |
| server_name | |
| server_lon | |
| server_lat | |
| server_name_sponsor | |
| server_id |
Setup
The following environment variables are available:
- HOST=<hostname or some other identifier>
- INFLUXDB_HOST=
- INFLUXDB_DB=
- INFLUX_DB_USER=
- INFLUX_DB_PASSWORD=
The port is not defined by default, so if you want to connect to a specific port, you can provide it with a semi-colon, for example: hosturl.com:8086.
Run the image with the following one-liner:
docker run --rm -e "HOST=myhostname" -e "INFLUXDB_HOST=hosturl.com" -e "INFLUXDB_DB=speedtest" -e "INFLUX_DB_USER=speedtest" -e "INFLUX_DB_PASSWORD=speedtest" caroga/speedtest-to-influxdb:latest
Crontab
Will run the docker instance every 20 minutes.

F.A.Q
Running the image interactively
You can add -it to the command above to run the image interactively: docker run --rm -it -e "HOST...
It doesn't seem to work, can I debug some more information?
At the moment there is no debug settings implemented, but by running the container interactively you can change the script located at /bin/rspeedtest to remove the -s on line 31. This will possible give you some more feedback.
