Introduction​

SpeedTest by OpenSpeedTest is a open-source network speed test that can be used to measure and test network speed.

This section will cover the basics for setting up SpeedTest.

SpeedTest Setup​

We can use the following to deploy SpeedTest on Docker Compose.

services:
    speedtest:
        image: openspeedtest/latest
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: openspeedtest
        ports:
            - '3000:3000'
            - '3001:3001'

The above stack will run the SpeedTest container and name it openspeedtest. The service uses port 3000 for HTTP traffic and 3001 for HTTPS traffic. Both host port numbers can be changed.

Note that if the service is running behind a reverse proxy, it is recommended to increase the body content length to 35 Megabytes or more.
