How to Pull and Run the rweijnen/speedtest Docker Image

This Docker image allows you to run a speed test directly on your machine or server.

1. Pull the Docker Image

To download the latest version of the Docker image, run the following command:

docker pull rweijnen/speedtest:latest

2. Run the Docker Container

To run the speed test using the Docker container, use the following command. This command runs the container and removes it after the test completes, using the host's networking stack for accurate speed results:

docker run --rm --network=host rweijnen/speedtest

• --rm: This flag removes the container after it has finished running.
• --network=host: This ensures that the container uses the host's network interface, giving more accurate speed test results.

Example Output

When you run the container, it will execute the speed test and print the results directly in your terminal.

$ docker run --rm --network=host rweijnen/speedtest
