Run a speedtest from the CLI and plot results.
Requires Python 3.6.
Until I decide to actually update speedtest-cli, apply this hack:
diff --git a/.venv-speedtest/lib/python3.6/site-packages/speedtest.py.bak b/.venv-speedtest/lib/python3.6/site-packages/speedtest.py
index cb4a374..22d90f2 100644

- Make a venv:
python -m venv .venv-speedtest.- It's recommended to use
pyenvto set your python version to 3.6. - The venv must be called
.venv-speedtest.
- It's recommended to use
pip install -r requirements.txt
Make sure to:
-
Set
run_speedtest.shto executable:chmod u+x run_speedtest.sh -
Set up the cron task: (
/etc/crontab)42 * * * * username /home/username/speedtest/run_speedtest.sh -
Make the data file if it doesn't already exist.
