speed_tester

A small system that I use to measure my home internet connection speed.

Requirements

speedtest-cli

easy_install speedtest-cli

sqlite3 - if you don't have this just install via your package manager.

Install

Clone this repo

bundle install

You will also need to change the COMMAND constant to point to the correct location of your speedtest-cli install if it doesn't end up in the same place. If you don't know where it is just run which speedtest-cli from the commandline and use that path.

Run

in cron

path/to/ruby path/to/speed_test.rb

Exporting results to CSV

I've included a script to export a CSV file that can be used in excel or google sheets. To use this just run ./export.sh from the project directory.

Future

Some ideas to expand on.

• web app to view results
• possibly upload results to Google Sheets
• move to postgres db from sqlite
