python-speedtest-manager

Runs speedtest-cli, pulls from FTP and saves the output as CSV files to an FTP server.

The body of this was written in one day on a whim by someone who is not a programmer by trade- this works for me, and I've tried to make this work as well as I can for others.

Dependencies:

speedtest-cli

pip install speedtest-cli

Pillow - for working with images.

pip install pillow (relevant later...)

requests

pip install requests

functools

pip install functools

Configuration File:

Change this to fit your needs, and rename to config.py. I'd highly recommend leaving socket.gethostname() in there in case you have multiple things running this- if you do, then you can just fork this repo, change the config, and push. If you don't want to use an FTP server, just set UseFTP to False.

UseFTP = True

FTPcredentials = credentials('server.domain','username','password')

FTP_baseDir = "main/python-speedtest"
FTP_CSVfolder = "csv"
FTP_IMGfolder = "img"


local_baseDir = os.path.realpath('.')
local_CSVfolder = "csv"
local_IMGfolder = "img"


# This can be whatever you want it to be, I'd recommend keeping socket.gethostname() in there somewhere so that if you have multiple instances of this they all have separate places to upload.
outputFile = socket.gethostname()+"-results"+".csv" 

print(os.path.join(local_baseDir,local_CSVfolder,outputFile))

enableTonsOfPrintInfo = False # This is mostly for debugging.
enableSpeedtestUpdate = True  # Mostly for peace of mind.

Usage

Call main.py somehow after setting up a config file. How you call it is up to you, mostly because I haven't quite figured out cronjobs. Also callable via Windows' Task Scheduler.
