Librespeed is a very lightweight Speedtest implemented in Javascript, using XMLHttpRequest and Web Workers. No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling ghcr.io/linuxserver/librespeed
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended)
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 80 |
web gui |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-e PASSWORD=PASSWORD |
Set the password for the results database. |
-e CUSTOM_RESULTS=true |
(optional) enables custom results page in /config/www/results/index.php . |
-e DB_TYPE=sqlite |
Defaults to sqlite , can also be set to mysql or postgresql . |
-e DB_NAME=DB_NAME |
Database name. Required for mysql and pgsql. |
-e DB_HOSTNAME=DB_HOSTNAME |
Database address. Required for mysql and pgsql. |
-e DB_USERNAME=DB_USERNAME |
Database username. Required for mysql and pgsql. |
-e DB_PASSWORD=DB_PASSWORD |
Database password. Required for mysql and pgsql. |
-v /config |
Contains all relevant configuration files. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Access the speedtest webui at http://SERVERIP
. The results database can be accessed at http://SERVERIP/results/stats.php
with the password set.
The default template used is based on example-singleServer-full.html
. However, all templates are provided for reference at /config/www/
. Feel free to customize /config/www/index.html
as you like. Delete the file and restart to go back to the image default.
You can optionally place customized speedtest.js
and speedtest_worker.js
files under /config/www
and they will supersede the defaults after a container start. Keep in mind that once you do so, they will no longer be updated. You can delete them and recreate the container to go back to the image defaults.
If you are setting up a mysql or postgresql database, you first need to import the tables into your database as described at the following link
https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/blob/master/doc.md#creating-the-database
To enable a custom results page set the environment variable CUSTOM_RESULTS=true
and start (or restart) the container at least once for /config/www/results/index.php
to be created and modify this file to your liking.
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it librespeed /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f librespeed
- container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' librespeed
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/librespeed
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull librespeed
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d librespeed
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker pull ghcr.io/linuxserver/librespeed
- Stop the running container:
docker stop librespeed
- Delete the container:
docker rm librespeed
- Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once librespeed
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-librespeed.git
cd docker-librespeed
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t ghcr.io/linuxserver/librespeed:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
