speedtest CLI dying out

sschueller

In case anyone is still having issues with the python version (and is running x86 hw). Speedtest net (speedtest dot net/apps/cli) has released their own version which is written in C and also supports settings which interface you want to use for the test.

@sschueller they have a pfsense specific package? if not, then won't it get wiped with every upgrade?

@ibbetsion not at the moment (on reddit there was an exchange between netgate and speedtest so their may be one in the future), you need to install it via cli and it will be gone after update. However during my last update the python version was also gone.

The new Ookla FreeBSD version works fine.

# REMOVE OLD VERSION
: pkg remove py37-speedtest-cli

# INSTALL NEW OOKLA VERSION
: pkg add "https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.0.0-freebsd.pkg"

Hi,
Is this Version also working with the Speedtest Widget?
Thanks

This method is pretty bulletproof for me:

As per this page How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed, I simply ran these two commands in the GUI at Diagnostics / Command Prompt / Execute Shell Command:

pkg search speedtest

This returned the following:
py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth

so I ran this command:

pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3

Then from there I simply run speedtest

KevinRice

@sebm That method works because the issue has been fixed. Previously, it was broken.

SebM

@kevinrice Great, so now that it's been fixed and I wrote down a simple step-by-step, anybody who comes here in the future knows what to do... I love it when a plan comes together!

KevinRice

@sebm Until it breaks next revision! ;)

SebM

@kevinrice Then one can browse to Ookla's Speedtest, run:

sudo pkg add "https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.0.0-freebsd.pkg"

Then when this is fixed, they can run:

pkg remove --y speedtest

And rinse and repeat steps from there:

Simple. Unintrusive. I likes

KevinRice

@sebm Until Ookla revises... Never ending battle.

SebM

@kevinrice I'd like to thank you for having published a workaround (option #3).

KevinRice

@sebm And, thank you for providing the current solution! I'm actually going to use it right now.

KevinRice

@sebm Yup. Works great! Thx.

@kevinrice wowza, that upload speed

KevinRice

@sebm GPON fiber. Race Communications home service. $60/mo.

SebM

@kevinrice I was paying $45 for 100/5 and just upgraded to 400/10 for $70... Something to keep in mind if I relocate.

KevinRice

@sebm Yeah, coax doesn't give much upload. At least the ISPs don't.

SebM

@kevinrice Do you have a Netgate appliance? If yes which one?
