Well talk about a nice surprise on a Tuesday! Dev of the project here and sub of the channel, thanks for showing off Speedtest Tracker!

I'll be adding your video to the docs to help people get started.

[bigdaveoo]

Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. I watch and follow through with your work and explanation. Overall, really appreciate this.

[robpalomo]

Nice. I hated the other one with the horrible outdated grafana charts. This is simpler and cleaner. I do appreciate something built with purpose and this seems to be it. Anyways, Thanks for always sharing the :)

You without doubt are the channel I call "Things I never knew I needed"

[hafenauer]

Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.

[DigitalIndependent]

Great and very comprehensive - well done! Username and Password are now changeable. :) That frustrated me back then, too. There's been quite a few updates by Alex (maintainer). I've just uploaded a (slightly less comprehensive) but more recent overview over Speedtest-Tracker on my channel.

Thanks for the vid, works great on my Synology... Thumbs up

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

[vba]

Thanks as always for the video. Very interesting, definitely want to try.

[PhilFromLI]

Thank you for the clear video that explains everything so well.
However, there's a problem for me. The results I am receiving are half as fast as my Internet connection. I have 300 down / 20 up speeds and when I use SpeedTest it's about 330/21 on average.
The results I am seeing with the tool are about 170/20.
I am running this on a Windows machiccne, and have the tool installed on Docker/Portainer.
It seems this is a known issue with SpeedTest. Does anyone else have this problem? And, I followed the instructions in this video closely. Is there something I am not doing or need to do beforehand?

[dalekrebs]

Setup was EASY! But I am noticing that the results in Dockerr Contain Speedtest are different than if I run manually from the Ookla Speedtest website. It's not a matter of MBps vs. Mbps .

[saiyantwan]

I just started a new setup and tried to deploy this in portainer following the video and for some reason it keeps failing to deploy the container and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

[danielhemp]

have you considered doing a video on self-hosting jitsi? I am looking for a dockerized video conferencing tool, and thought that you may have done that, but I can't find one by you! You always do a great job with your explanations.

[JanDemore]

I deployed this inmy Portainerbut getting error 500 when go to Settings - General, any clue? thanks

[acerides]

nice video! is there a way I can view the speed test results without having to login to admin page?

[julientheriault]

Hey DBTech, love your videos, it's been really helpful on my homelab journey :)

I'm trying to set this up behind my Nginx Proxy Manager, but I'm not able to access the admin page. First I had problems with css not loading on the login page. I changed my proxy from http (port 80) to https (port 443) and now the CSS loads on the login page, but when I login I get a 500 on /admin.

Have you ever tried settings this behind a reverse proxy? Does it need extra environment variables to be able to access it?

Thanks!

[croutoncompadre]

do you have a video on how to reverse proxy this? or could you explain please? can't get it to work since it's forcing ssl

[RfkgamingDev]

I been getting the error on the speedtest-tracker it self " No log line matching the '' filter "

[cheekychillipepper]

Great vid. How do you get to the .env file so I can add telegram token

[JD-olsg]

Anyone have an idea why this only works if I disable the 'Block/Deny All' final rule in my firewall? (Even when a rule has been added above that opens 8443.)
