[sundodger]

Ah, i have to admit i do not know how to do that.
Off to google it.

[Rolandet]

Go to the directory where the script is located
run: sudo ./speedtest.sh

[Gravityz]

does this also work from docker

i am getting this error

Hello,

To tackle the issue I change the line 1112
ignore_servers = list(
map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
)

and replaced it by:

ignore_servers = []
if server_config['ignoreids']!="":
ignore_servers = list(
map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
)
This prevents the exception

Hoping it works for you too.

Best regards

Hello,

You have to replace the spaces by tabs to avoid the indentation problem.

I am using the text editor Notepad++ (in the Edit menu you will find the way to transform spaces by tabs).

[Gravityz]

tried it again without luck. maybee drop your speedtest.py

another question, this thread is 13 pages long. why on earth is this problem not solved in the source

[meal]

Hello
You will find attached the file.
Unzip it and copy it to the relevant location on your computer.
Best regards

[Gravityz]

@meal
working perfectly now. thanks for helping me and others out.

[Rolandet]

Anyone getting errors in this script?
Mine reports back error.

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''



The solution:
Run this command

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/v2.1.3/speedtest.py \
 -O /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py/

Be sure to change the location of your dist-packages/speedtest.py to the python version you're using

I did not pay attention to this for a while, it was measuring the speed on a daily basis but has suddenly stopped.
When I run on the console, I get this:

[benedict]

This repeated speedtesting is just abhorently wasteful. Not just for your own usage limit and bandwidth during testing, but also for the internet as a whole. Especially since what you want to achieve with it, is precisely why it's getting slow(er) than it could be.
As someone who's employed at a mobile operator (now mostly double 4G and prime 5G connectivity maintenance in towers and such..) I get to hear a lot of complaints from the sysadmins at the dc and core network and backbone operations, the constant speedtests and checks for speed are becoming a serious contender for the first spot on the total traffic generated globally charts. It's absurd, especially in this day and age. It's literally abusing energy, both locally as well as along the routers in between as well as on the server's side. It's like keeping a fossil fueled engine running in front of your house every day for a few hours, just to know that it works when you need to use it for something, completely disregarding its environmental effects. Please, if you can, stop using speedtesting to check if your internet is up or not. It's absurd.

[Rolandet]

A speedtest is nothing more then a little upload and download chunk. If that messes with your connection, you have way bigger problems.
