Common questions

How can I use a config file with a different name in the container?

Set the environment variable influxspeedtest to the config file name you want the container to read.

How do I make the collector write to my InfluxDB instance?

In config.ini, set Address to your InfluxDB host or IP, Port usually to 8086, and provide Database, Username, and Password.

Can I force it to test specific speedtest servers?

Yes, put a comma-separated list of servers in the SPEEDTEST Server key, or leave it blank for automatic selection.

How should I run the container so it uses my configuration file?

Mount the host config.ini file to /src/config.ini and run the container with a restart policy such as always.

How do I change how often speed tests run?

Set the Delay key in the GENERAL section of config.ini; it controls the delay between runs.
