Speedtest Tracker

::alert{type="info"} 🎯 Objectives:

• Install Speedtest Tracker
• Expose Speedtest Tracker with SWAG
  ::

Speedtest Tracker is a container that allows you to schedule regular speed tests in order to log your server's internet connection status.

Installation

---

::alert{type="info"} :::list{type="info"}

• We will use the Docker image maintained by LinuxServer.io ::: ::

File structure:

root
└── docker
    └── speedtest-tracker
        └── data
            └── config

In a terminal, generate a key using the following command:

echo -n 'base64:'; openssl rand -base64 32;

Take note of the key.

Open Dockge, click on compose, name the stack speedtest-tracker, then paste the following:

---
services:
    speedtest-tracker:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/speedtest-tracker:latest
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: speedtest-tracker
        ports:
            - ${PORT}:80
        environment:
            - PUID=${PUID}
            - PGID=${GUID}
            - TZ=Europe/Paris
            - APP_KEY=${API_KEY}
            - DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
            - SPEEDTEST_SCHEDULE=${SCHEDULE}
        volumes:
            - /docker/speedtest-tracker/data/config:/config

Find your PUID and GUID by running the following command:

id yourusername

In the .env file, set the variable API_KEY with the key you generated and add a cron-style test schedule, as well as your PUID and GUID, for example:

SCHEDULE=15 */6 * * * # every 6 hours
API_KEY=base64:zihejehkj8_nzhY/OjeieR= # your key
PUID=1000
GUID=1000
PORT=3225 # port to access the web UI

::alert{type="success"} ✨ Tip: You can configure additional environment variables by referring to the official documentation. ::

Deploy the container and go to http://yourserverip:3225. Log in with the account [email protected] and the password password. Don’t forget to change your ID and password once logged in!

Expose Speedtest Tracker

---

::alert{type="info"} 📋 Prerequisites:
We assume that you've already created a subdomain like speedtest.yourdomain.com in your DNS zone with a CNAME pointing to yourdomain.com, and unless you’re using Cloudflare Zero Trust, you've also forwarded port 443 from your router to port 443 of your server in your NAT rules. ::

Now we want to expose Speedtest Tracker to the internet so you can access it remotely. We assume you've set up the DNS CNAME for speedtest.yourdomain.com pointing to yourdomain.com.

::alert{type="warning"} :::list{type="warning"}

• Speedtest Tracker does not use multi-factor authentication. Exposing it on the internet could compromise connected devices. Do so only if you use a multi-factor system like Authentik. Otherwise, avoid using SWAG and prefer a VPN like Wireguard. ::: ::

Open the speedtest.subdomain.conf file:

sudo vi /docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/speedtest.subdomain.conf

Configure it like this:

## Version 2023/12/19

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    
    server_name speedtest.*;  

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    #if ($lan-ip = yes) { set $geo-whitelist yes; }
    #if ($geo-whitelist = no) { return 404; }
    if ($geo-blacklist = no) { return 404; } 

    # Authentication options (uncomment as needed)
    #include /config/nginx/ldap-server.conf;
    #include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;
    #include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;

    location / {
        # Basic auth
        #auth_basic "Restricted";
        #auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/.htpasswd;

        # Per-location authentication
        #include /config/nginx/ldap-location.conf;
        #include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;
        #include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;

        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
        
        set $upstream_app speedtest-tracker;
        set $upstream_port 3225;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
    }
}

Save and exit. The configuration will update in a few seconds.

::alert{type="info"} :::list{type="info"}

• By default, SWAG doesn’t know the name "speedtest-tracker". To allow access, you need to add Speedtest Tracker’s network to SWAG’s compose.yml. ::: ::

Go to Dockge, and edit SWAG’s compose to include Speedtest Tracker’s network:

services:
  swag:
    container_name: # ...
    # ...
    networks:
      # ...
      - speedtest-tracker

networks:
  # ...
  speedtest-tracker:
    name: speedtest-tracker_default
    external: true

Restart the stack by clicking "Deploy" and wait for SWAG to be fully up.

::alert{type="info"} :::list{type="info"}

• This assumes the Speedtest Tracker network is named speedtest-tracker_default. You can verify the connection by visiting SWAG’s dashboard at http://yourserverip:81. ::: ::

Wait a moment, then visit https://speedtest.yourdomain.com in your browser — you should be redirected to Speedtest Tracker. You can check service status via the dashboard (http://yourserverip:81 from the local network).

::alert{type="success"} ✨ You can protect this app with Authentik by opening speedtest.subdomain.conf and uncommenting
include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf; and include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;.
Don’t forget to create an application and provider in Authentik. ::
