ookla-speedtest-mqtt

A simple container designed to send JSON formatted Ookla speed test results over MQTT. Uses Ookla's Speedtest CLI tool.

Required environment variables:

MQTT_SERVER: IP address of MQTT server

MQTT_TOPIC: Topic for speed test results

SLEEP: Seconds between speed test runs

TZ: Set timezone. Uses standard tz database format - America/New_York

Optional environment variables:

SERVER_ID: Specify a server using its numeric ID

MQTT_USER: MQTT username

MQTT_PASS: MQTT password

Example:

docker run -d -e MQTT_TOPIC='ookla-speedtest/results' -e MQTT_SERVER_='192.168.1.10' -e SLEEP='3600' -e TZ='America/New_York' ccmpbll/ookla-speedtest-mqtt:latest

Telegraf Config Example:

I use Telegraf to get this data into an InfluxDB instance. Below is an excerpt from my Telegraf config that demonstrates how I accomplish this. If there is a better way to do this, I am very open to suggestions.
