Requirements

I'm trying to get this running on a Debian server- the docker image doesn't seem to work on it's own (I'm getting an error connecting to mongodb and the container just keeps restarting, it's been like that for a while now)

Do I need to also clone this repo or install mongo myself?

Are you running the docker-compose file, or just the docker image itself? If you are running compose, that will provide MongoDB. However if you are running just the docker image, you will need to provide a running MongoDB server and update the connection url in /config/default.js

I'll make it so you can provide an ENV var to update those values so it's easier to run the base image.

I'm running the docker-compose file now. I've left it running for about an hour and I'm still getting the "failed to connect to server"

Interesting - it does appear that there are known oddities with the DNS resolver and Docker on Windows. Can you confirm that the mongo container is starting correctly? It also appears that there may be a firewall rule to adjust. https://forums.docker.com/t/embedded-dns-not-working/38425/2

What version of Docker are you using?

Accidentally got too much screenshot in there - it's a Debian VM that I just spun up for this. Docker CE 19.03.4.

docker ps shows no containers running.

If I do ps -a I get this:

Looks like MongoDB is starting then immedietly stopping - I'm not too familiar with Docker in general so I'm not sure what's causing it.

The logs show this:

Looks like a permissions issue but I wouldn't know how I would go about fixing it.

OK - I found a solution on a forum somewhere. I added an extra bit to the compose file which gave mongo full access to the /bitnami/ directory.

https://github.com/JonathanTF2/internet-speed-logger/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Now I've done that Mongo opens fine and everything opens!

Only issue I've got now is that the "speedlogger-runner" container is erroring saying it can't find Speedtest:

Error executing Speedtest
Error: Command failed: speedtest -f json --accept-license
/bin/sh: 1: speedtest: not found

I've put speedtest from the tar archive in the /bin/ directory and it runs fine on host.

Great solution! I'll make sure that is noted in the readme.

As for the command not found, did you change the path of the speedtest.commandString? The actual speedtest binary is burned into the docker image at bin/speedtest so as long as that is still the default, all should work. (The docker images were designed to be as self-contained as possible - you only need to download the binaries if you are running it outside of Docker.)
