alexte/speedtest

Speedtest is a very simple web service to test download performance.

It is based on nodejs and express.

HOWTO

You need a server with node.js to run this service.

> npm install 
> node speedtest.js -h
Usage: node speedtest.js

  -l, --bindaddress=ARG  Listen to this IP (any)
  -p, --port=ARG         Listen to this TCP Port (8081)
  -h, --help             display this help

> node speedtest.js
Listening on 0.0.0.0:8081

If you want to start alexte/speedtest in background at system start consider using "screen", "forever" (http://blog.nodejitsu.com/keep-a-nodejs-server-up-with-forever/), or "docker"

Start in background with "forever"

> npm install -g forever
> npm install
> forever start speedtest.js

Check or stop the service:

> forever list
> forever stop speedtest.js
