docker: iperf

This is a docker image to run the iperf commandline tool for benchmarking network performance.

Build from docker file

If you want to build the docker container image yourself you can do so with the following commands:

git clone git@github.com:moutten/docker-iperf.git
cd docker-iperf
docker build -t iperf .

Pulling from docker hub

If you just want to obtain the image from the docker registry, you can use the following command:

docker pull moutten/iperf

Running the image

In order to run the iperf server command in daemonized mode, use the following:

docker run -d -p 5001:5001 moutten/iperf

At that point, you can use your docker server as an iperf server to begin benchmarking your network speeds.
