Automated Aussie Broadband speed test

Automated check using Aussie Broadband's Speed Test utility.

The primary purpose of this very simple script is to run and record speed test results on a schedule using any old spare computer or Raspberry Pi.

Browser automation

A remote Selenium Firefox webdriver is used to run the speed test and collect results.

Data collection

Results are collected into an InfluxDB instance. Data collected includes:

  • Download speed in kbps
  • Upload speed in kbps
  • Ping time in ms

Setup

The remote webdriver and InfluxDB are provided as Docker Compose services.

docker compose up -d

The InfluxDB UI can be accessed at http://localhost:8086 using credentials

  • Username: speedtest
  • Password: speedtest

Note: Credentials and other configuration is done via environment variables in docker-compose.yml.
