Speedtest Tracker is an internet speed monitoring tool that continuously tests the internet connection and provides detailed reports. It allows users to track their network speed over time, helping identify fluctuations, downtime, or ISP inconsistencies.

This tutorial explains how to install Speedtest Tracker inside a Docker container on Linux. Commands have been tested on Ubuntu.

Prepare environment

Make sure you have installed Docker in your system. If you are using Ubuntu, installation instructions can be found in the post.

Install Speedtest Tracker

• Host network

Run the following command to create a container for Speedtest Tracker that uses host network:

docker run -d --name=speedtest-tracker --restart=always --network=host \
    -v /opt/speedtest-tracker/config:/config \
    -e APP_KEY=base64:yzEhQwPpTU+wO/RZjsxLxQZdfMVJ5TBlW6nf8cWnbA8= \
    linuxserver/speedtest-tracker

• User-defined bridge network

User-defined bridge network can be used for listening on different port. By default, Speedtest Tracker service is listening on port 80. It can be changed with -p option.

docker network create app-net

docker run -d --name=speedtest-tracker --restart=always --network=app-net \
    -p 8080:80 \
    -v /opt/speedtest-tracker/config:/config \
    -e APP_KEY=base64:yzEhQwPpTU+wO/RZjsxLxQZdfMVJ5TBlW6nf8cWnbA8= \
