Thank you for this simple video that prevented me from pulling my hair out! Works like a charm. 2 years ago and still helping people. Awesome.

[bribraybrai]

Yes! Thank you!
I don't know why there isn't a tool from Synology, it really helps with trouble shooting and checking were bottle-necking is happening from NAS to outside client.

[TigerRichards]

Well, that was complex, and yet, it worked. Straight forward instructions. Thank you. It was very helpful.

In EU you also need to accept GDPR `sudo docker run --rm moutten/speedtest-cli --accept-gdpr`

And I suggest to add it as alias too for faster use.
> alias speedtest="sudo docker run --rm moutten/speedtest-cli --accept-gdpr"
then to run the test
> speedtest

Great video, exactly what I needed and runs with no issues on DSM7

[stefansiegenthalerch]

Thanks for the video! Great! But i get this error messages like "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''" Do You know, what this means?

[cybermousey]

Is there was with a GUI? This would be great, but it would be even a tad better if I could go to a GUI so I don't have to run a command line and/or open up my NAS to SSH access. Thank you. Great video

All I have to work with is an iPhone or a fire tablet is this still possible?

[Roaming]

This is not working on the new RS2421+ that uses Ryzen processor. I get an error when running that states ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

[NiMareQ]

OT: Can I install any version of Node.js using Docker? Only v12 is supported from Package manager for DSM 6.2.4.

[pitudievielseitigeborderco]

not happy, does not work: "[error] Error: [0] Timeout occurred in connect" and "[error] Server Selection - Failed to find a working test server. (NoServers)". Has somebody an idea what I miss? Internet connection is up, the download and installation without errors

[linekodak]

What to do about followring?:

'To accept the message please run speedtest interactively or use the following:
speedtest --accept-gdpr'

But 'speedtest --accept-gdpr' just come up with '-sh: speedtest: command not found'

[carltaylor]

Anyone know how to test speed between 2 NAS devices? Would like to know transfer rates for large amounts of data to be moved between them. Also want to see if the combined network ports are working.

[mindlessgreen]

Does it have to be so complicated just to run a speedtest?

[packdaddy]

Why is there not a web browser that we can just connect to a speed test site?

[hansoymot]

Is this still possible on DSM 7.0? It doesn't seem to work on my DS218+. Please advice. Thank you.

[TheRealMikeD]

I appreciate the tutorial, but it didn't work for me. Docker runs but I got a Python error running the speedtest-cli package: (ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''). Thanks, anyway.

sudo docker run --rm moutten/speedtest-cli --accept-gdpr
