weareblahs / unspeedtest

Daily automated speedtest via Raspberry Pi, where the reports are accessible through a local network URL.

Currently experienced bugs

See here.

Note

Although this script is written on Python, I suggest you to run it on a Raspberry Pi as the setup scripts are optimized for Raspberry Pi OS (Debian).

Why did I do this?

I actually appreciate Fing's automated speedtest feature, but the software itself is only available on Windows and Mac computers. This is a Linux-based equivalent of the daily speedtest feature on Fing, powered by Speedtest.net from Ookla.

Setup

1. Install git and clone this repository on your home directory (example: /home/(USERNAME)).

sudo apt-get install git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/weareblahs/unspeedtest

2. Install Ookla's Speedtest CLI by running these commands:

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/ookla/speedtest-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install speedtest

• After running these commands, run speedtest and accept EULA. It is recommended to let the first speedtest end to see if it's working from your side.

OPTIONAL: Before setup starts

To modify when will the automated speedtest starts, edit cron from the unspeedtest directory.

• By default, 0 0 * * * means that unspeedtest will run automated speedtests on 12am everyday if the device is turned on. To generate cron expressions, use https://crontab.guru/ or https://crontab.cronhub.io/ and replace 0 0 0 0 0 with what you've got from the generators.

3. Make setup.sh executable and start the setup. Do note that the setup script won't work if you're not running with sudo permissions.

chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

4. Visit http://raspberrypi.local/unspeedtest (or replace raspberrypi.local with the IP address you got from hostname -I) to see if it's working. If it's working, you'll see this page:
5. Go to terminal and start your first manual unspeedtest session.

cd ~/unspeedtest
./unspeedtest.sh
