Speedtest.net for unRAID 6.1+

Recommended Posts

2019.12.11

Been working on a new version using the official speedtest package

 

You can install this package using wget and installpkg from the command line


https://github.com/dmacias72/unRAID-speedtest/raw/master/packages/speedtest-1.0.0.2-x86_64-1.txz

 

Then run speedtest to test this script

 

 

Speedtest-cli for 6.1+

Based on repositories

https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli


This plugin interacts with the command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net. This is for those that don't have another hard wired computer to check bandwidth with. Be patient. It will take about 30 seconds to get the results.

 

1. Copy the plugin url:

 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-speedtest/master/plugin/speedtest.plg
 

2. Paste url into install plugin text input and click install

 

As of 2018.01.13 NerdPack plugin is required to install Python 2

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-NerdPack/master/plugin/NerdPack.plg

 

Created a standalone version for a webserver. Will read speedtest.xml and display similar results to the plugin. May include testing in the future.

 

https://github.com/dmacias72/speedtest/archive/master.zip

 

Options

 

Settings/Speedtest

Enable Secure Connection:  Use HTTPS instead of HTTP when communicating with speedtest.net operated servers

Save Speed Values As:  Display values in bytes instead of bits. Does not affect the image generated

Create Results Image:  Generate and provide a URL to the speedtest.net share results image

Select Speedtest Server:  Specify a server ID to test against from a list of speedtest.net servers sorted by distance

 

Settings/Scheduler/Speedtest

Cron Jobs and Command line:  Schedule Speedtest cron jobs from Settings/Scheduler/Speedtest

You can also manually add /usr/sbin/speedtest-xml to a cron job or just run speedtest-xml from the command line. The results will be stored in /boot/config/plugins/speedtest/speedtest.xml and also shown on the results page.

 

Sort and Filter results: There's a filter section below the table header where the results can be filtered by date, host, ping, download and upload. Sort and Filter settings will be saved.

 

Tools/Speedtest

Tests and Results will be under Tools/Speedtest

 

From the speedtest-cli github:

"It is not a goal of this application to be a reliable latency reporting tool.

 

Latency reported by this tool should not be relied on as a value indicative of ICMP style latency. It is a relative value used for determining the lowest latency server for performing the actual speed test against.

 

There is the potential for this tool to report results inconsistent with Speedtest.net. There are several concepts to be aware of that factor into the potential inconsistency:

  1. Speedtest.net has migrated to using pure socket tests instead of HTTP based tests

  2. This application is written in Python

  3. Different versions of Python will execute certain parts of the code faster than others

  4. CPU and Memory capacity and speed will play a large part in inconsistency between Speedtest.net and even other machines on the same network"

thanks. now I can retire my bare-bones speedtest_cli.py :)

 

PS> Looks like it uninstalls existing Python installs. Replaced my newer version with its own. Not sure if this will affect something else as I'm not sure what else uses it.

What version of pyhthon did you have and what plugin was it from?  I can add the newer version to the plugin.

 

Edit nevermind. I see the newer one in the nerd pack. I'll update.

Not sure. I think it said it was 4 minor versions ahead (.9 vs your .5?) Not sure what I have that uses it but nothing I have run across is broken.

I updated the plugin to include python 2.7.9 from the nerd pack plugin. Don't want to get into the old dueling dependencies from days past.

After using this for a few days, I would say that the upload and download speeds are in the ballpark compared with speedtest.net running on a wired computer and running Chrome browser.

 

However the ping times are way longer.  I am on Comcast here and my pings are in the 30's  This utility reports pings over 90 ms and some over 100.  Other than this, looks like it works ok.

Hi - is there any chance that the date (and time) can been added to the results table for each test?  I'm guessing local server time.

Date and Time was already saved in order to provide a unique name for each table row.  I updated the plugin to show it in the table based on your unRAID display preferences for date and time. Also updated packages and layout some.  You will have to refresh your browser or its cache.

Sorry about that. I thought I caught the error fast enough to not push a new version. I just went ahead and pushed a new version.

Usually means a bad plg file download or bad plg file url, Try removing the plugin then reinstall and make sure to use this url

Sorry. I'm moving everything to a new repo and changing install method. Had a few missing "/"s.  Should be good now.
