Local instance WebPageTest

Docker

How to run

On Linux Server

Run the following commands, and access to http://localhost:4000

sudo modprobe ifb numifbs=1
docker-compose up

This will run the wpt_server and wpt_agent instances.

On Mac OS / PC

Mac OS does not support network shaping.

Run the following command, and access to http://localhost:4000

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-macos.yml up

Native Connection (No Traffic Shaping) will have to be used in order to work as there is no traffic shaping enabled.

Test test results

Test results are saved in wpt_data directory.

How to test localhost

Because everything runs into docker localhost is different. To access the localhost from your machine use:

http://host.docker.internal:{PORT}/

Another way is to add EXTRA_HOST to wpt.env:

EXTRA_HOST=local.dev:10.8.10.11

The IP address is your local machine IP address.

How to stop

docker-compose down

Running a local HTTPS server

This will cause WPT to crash with (Test Error: net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) error, because the local browser instance doesn't know your SSL files.

To overcome this check Ignore SSL Certificate Errors under settings and run the test again.

Network latency / speed simulation

At the moment as far as I know this doesn't work inside Docker. But you can use throttle to simulate slow network connections on Linux and Mac OS X.

Vagrant

NOT WORKING at the moment.

Initial setup

vagrant up

vagrant ssh

chmod +x /vagrant/bootstrap.sh

/vagrant/bootstrap.sh

# It may take long time to install a lot if software, please wait patiently!

localhost
Test_loc

exit

vagrant reload

Open http://localhost:8080/

Docker commands

docker-compose build --pull --force-rm --no-cache
