We run a Docker container called Speedtest Tracker to monitor the performance of our Internet connection. This container is a self-hosted application that monitors the performance and uptime of our internet connection. It uses test servers on the Internet to measure our Internet upload and download speeds, latency, and jitter. The main use case for this tool is to build a history of your internet performance and ISP’s uptime so you can be informed when you’re not receiving your ISP’s advertised rates.

Setup and Configuration

This container is easy to set up in Docker. We used the process in the video below –

We also configured the container to store test results in our Influxdb.

Speedtest Tracker Grafana Dashboard

This allows us to configure a Grafana Dashboard to view the results of our tests.

The Grafana Dashboard that we used can be found here. You can learn more about how we have deployed and configured Grafana dashboard in our Home Lab here.
