Using the docker image
A docker version of LibreSpeed is available here: GitHub Packages
Alpine Linux variant
An Alpine Linux based docker version of LibreSpeed is also available here: GitHub Packages under all the tags that have the -alpine
suffix. This variant is significantly smaller but can have slightly different behaviour due to its toolchain being based in musl libc as mentioned in here.
Quickstart
If you just want to try it, the fastest way is:
docker run -p 80:80 -d --name speedtest --rm ghcr.io/librespeed/speedtest
Then go with your browser to port 80 of your server and try it out. If port 80 is already in use, adjust the first number in 80:80 above. Default is to run in standalone mode.
Docker Compose
In production environments we would recommend using docker-compose.
To start the container using docker compose the following docker-compose.yml
configuration can be used:
version: '3.7'
services:
speedtest:
container_name: speedtest
image: ghcr.io/librespeed/speedtest:latest
restart: always
environment:
MODE: standalone
#TITLE: "LibreSpeed"
#TELEMETRY: "false"
#ENABLE_ID_OBFUSCATION: "false"
#REDACT_IP_ADDRESSES: "false"
#PASSWORD:
#EMAIL:
#DISABLE_IPINFO: "false"
#IPINFO_APIKEY: "your api key"
#DISTANCE: "km"
#WEBPORT: 80
ports:
- "80:80" # webport mapping (host:container)
Please adjust the environment variables according to the intended operating mode.
Standalone mode
If you want to install LibreSpeed on a single server, you need to configure it in standalone mode. To do this, set the MODE
environment variable to standalone
.
The test can be accessed on port 80.
Here's a list of additional environment variables available in this mode:
TITLE
: Title of your speed test. Default value:LibreSpeed
TELEMETRY
: Whether to enable telemetry or not. If enabled, you maybe want your data to be persisted. See below. Default value:false
ENABLE_ID_OBFUSCATION
: When set to true with telemetry enabled, test IDs are obfuscated, to avoid exposing the database internal sequential IDs. Default value:false
REDACT_IP_ADDRESSES
: When set to true with telemetry enabled, IP addresses and hostnames are redacted from the collected telemetry, for better privacy. Default value:false
DB_TYPE
: When set to one of the supported DB-Backends it will use this instead of the default sqlite database backend. TELEMETRY has to be set totrue
. Also you have to create the database as described in doc.md. Supported backend types are:- sqlite - no additional settings required
- mysql, postgresql - set additional env-variables:
- DB_HOSTNAME - Name or IP of the DB server
- DB_PORT (mysql only) - Port where DB is running
- DB_NAME - Name of the telemetry db
- DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD - credentials of the user with read and update permissions to the db
- mssql - not supported in docker image yet (feel free to open a PR with that, has to be done in
entrypoint.sh
)
PASSWORD
: Password to access the stats page. If not set, stats page will not allow accesses.EMAIL
: Email address for GDPR requests. Must be specified when telemetry is enabled.DISABLE_IPINFO
: If set totrue
, ISP info and distance will not be fetched from either ipinfo.io or the offline database. Default: value:false
IPINFO_APIKEY
: API key for ipinfo.io. Optional, but required if you want to use the full ipinfo.io APIs (required for distance measurement)DISTANCE
: WhenDISABLE_IPINFO
is set to false, this specifies how the distance from the server is measured. Can be eitherkm
for kilometers,mi
for miles, or an empty string to disable distance measurement. Requires an ipinfo.io API key. Default value:km
WEBPORT
: Allows choosing a custom port for the included web server. Default value:80
. Note that you will have to expose it through docker with the -p argument. This is not the port where the service is exposed outside docker!
If telemetry is enabled, a stats page will be available at http://your.server/results/stats.php
, but a password must be specified.
Persist sqlite database
Default DB driver is sqlite. The DB file is written to /database/db.sql
.
So if you want your data to be persisted over image updates, you have to mount a volume with -v $PWD/db-dir:/database
.
Example Standalone Mode with telemetry
This command starts LibreSpeed in standalone mode, with persisted telemetry, ID obfuscation and a stats password, on port 86:
docker run -e MODE=standalone -e TELEMETRY=true -e ENABLE_ID_OBFUSCATION=true -e PASSWORD="yourPasswordHere" -e WEBPORT=86 -p 86:86 -v $PWD/db-dir/:/database -it ghcr.io/librespeed/speedtest
Multiple Points of Test
For multiple servers, you need to set up 1+ LibreSpeed backends, and 1 LibreSpeed frontend.
Backend mode
In backend mode, LibreSpeed provides only a test point with no UI. To do this, set the MODE
environment variable to backend
.
The following backend files can be accessed on port 80: garbage.php
, empty.php
, getIP.php
Here's a list of additional environment variables available in this mode:
IPINFO_APIKEY
: API key for ipinfo.io. Optional, but required if you want to use the full ipinfo.io APIs (required for distance measurement). If no API key is provided, the offline database will be used instead.
Example Backend mode
This command starts LibreSpeed in backend mode, with the default settings, on port 80:
docker run -e MODE=backend -p 80:80 -it ghcr.io/librespeed/speedtest
Frontend mode
In frontend mode, LibreSpeed serves clients the Web UI and a list of servers. To do this:
-
Set the
MODE
environment variable tofrontend
-
Create a servers.json file with your test points. The syntax is the following:
[ { "name": "Friendly name for Server 1", "server" :"//server1.mydomain.com/", "dlURL" :"garbage.php", "ulURL" :"empty.php", "pingURL" :"empty.php", "getIpURL" :"getIP.php" }, { "name": "Friendly name for Server 2", "server" :"https://server2.mydomain.com/", "dlURL" :"garbage.php", "ulURL" :"empty.php", "pingURL" :"empty.php", "getIpURL" :"getIP.php" }, //...more servers... ]
Note: if a server only supports HTTP or HTTPS, specify the protocol in the server field. If it supports both, just use
//
. -
Mount this file to
/servers.json
in the container (example at the end of this file)
The test can be accessed on port 80.
The list of environment variables available in this mode is the same as above in standalone mode.
Example Frontend mode
This command starts LibreSpeed in frontend mode, with a given servers.json
file, and with telemetry, ID obfuscation, and a stats password and a persistant sqlite database for results:
docker run -e MODE=frontend -e TELEMETRY=true -e ENABLE_ID_OBFUSCATION=true -e PASSWORD="yourPasswordHere" -v $PWD/servers.json:/servers.json -v $PWD/db-dir/:/database -p 80:80 -it ghcr.io/librespeed/speedtest
Dual mode
In dual mode, LibreSpeed operates as a standalone server that can also connect to other test points. To do this:
- Set the
MODE
environment variable todual
- Follow the
servers.json
instructions for the frontend mode - The first server entry should be the local server, using the server endpoint address that a client can access.
