Make Raspberry Pi Network SpeedTest Tool for Internal throughput and network speed measuring.

Welcome to my Tutorial on how to make a network speed test tool for measuring internal network speeds and throughputs using a Raspberry Pi and Flirc Case, installing Open Speed Test in Docker on your Raspberry Pi.
A great tool for fault finding your's and customers' networks and measuring how fast a local WiFi access point is or a hard-wired ethernet connected device is.
#thecomputerlab, #raspberrypimaker, #openspeedtest
GET STARTED HERE:
--------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
curl -sSL get.docker.com | sh
curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
ls (This lists content)
sh get-docker.sh (runs script)
sudo usermod -aG docker pi (adds user to docker)
Restart Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot (reboots pi)
The test by typing
docker
And then check
docker run hello-world
enable docker on restart
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:linux-arm
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
Install OpenSpeed Test in portioner
sudo docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name=openspeedtest -d -p 3000:3000 openspeedtest/latest
-----------
Install screen
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
cd ~
sudo pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-python-shell
wget raw.githubuser...
sudo python3 raspi-blinka.py
Ask to reboot then check it by :
ls /dev/i2c* /dev/spi*
Should see this (/dev/i2c-1 /dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1)
NOW add adafruit library:
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306
Allow custom fonts
sudo apt-get install python3-pil
Now code for screen:
nano /home/pi/stats.py
Paste code direct from adafruit website here:
(Visit this website if you need code or instructions direct from AdaFruit: Here if needed -learn.adafruit...)
----------
One last thing run stats on boot by:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Running Stats on Boot
You can pretty easily make it so this handy program runs every time you boot your Pi.
The fastest/easiest way is to put it in /etc/rc.local
Run sudo nano /etc/rc.local and add the line
sudo python3 /home/pi/stats.py &
on its own line right before exit 0
Then save and exit. Reboot to verify that the screen comes up on boot!
sudo reboot

Someone noted on another video like this was that using the 64 bit OS achieved full speeds for UL and DL.

Great project! Thank you.

[@TheComputerLab]

Thanks Jeff

[@stevetaylor9899]

Great video, thankyou for posting. As im half thinking of a similar project and very new to the Raspberry Pi world, i was wondering if i could quiz you on what im after doing. Ideally Id like to have this device sat quite close to my own router, and with the LED screen that you have, possibly also provide a red, amber & green three colour scheme depending on the speed that is happening or happened prior to the previous scheduled check. Would this be at all possible?

[@grumpycloud]

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I believe the reason the first curl command didn't "download" the script file is because you piped it directly to sh. So as soon as it downloaded it was instantly ran by sh, which was the output you saw. It didn't write the file (that's what the -o command in your second line was for).

Hi! Can I setup the Pie so that it would record reports of tests at preset intervarls? I wish to test a mobile internet router and the speeds I would get at my location.

[@rahshaunsharpe9152]

Can I run this on a bigger screen on a pi 4 ? will the startup look wierd?

[@vbhoj74]

Great, can the display refresh IP address if I just unplug & plug it back on different switch port (maybe with different VLAN) ?

[@MrRlovely]

It appeared to display an autoconfig IP at first before it received a DHCP address, so it looks like it was monitoring in real time. I have yet to build one of there, but just from my experience with networking.
