speedtest-cli targets changing #31

Closed relaxteb closed 9 months ago

relaxteb commented 1 year ago

when running a manual speedtest-cli --list some server id's appear. When used in the target file the smokeping fails. When running again speedtest-cli --list, the serverlist has changed.

I've found this article which might be the case? https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/x2hv2o/speedtestcli_list_returns_only_10_servers/

also very low speeds are reported in the RRDTool, running speedtest-cli manually improves the speed. When using speedtest-tracker a more real bandwidth is reached

From memory, I think --list lists the closest 10 servers, so it might not always be the same. As long as your server id is valid though it shouldn't matter if it's in the list. When you ran it manually did specifying --server work?

I have added support for the official ookla cli in https://github.com/jwigley/docker-smokeping-speedtest/pull/33, if you want to give that a go.

I vaguely remember a discussion around this before. It's possible there's some performance limitation with running speedtest-cli inside a container. My internet is only 100Mbps, so might explain why I haven't run into it.

Specifying --server did work, however it seems the server id sometimes dissappears and can not be used again. The Ookla CLI works and immediately gives proper speeds. Tnx! So I removed the old speedtest and configured the Ookla

Is is also possible to change the RRD Graph units from Ms to Mb/s? As in a custom configuration?
