Deploy and Host Speedtest Tracker on Railway

Speedtest Tracker (alexjustesen/speedtest-tracker) runs scheduled internet speed tests and keeps a history with alerts. This template deploys the linuxserver.io image pinned to 1.15.0 with a persistent volume, SQLite by default and an API health check.

About Hosting Speedtest Tracker

Hosting Speedtest Tracker on Railway means running the linuxserver/speedtest-tracker container on port 80 with a volume mounted at /config for its data. The template sets a generated APP_KEY (a base64-prefixed 32-byte key), APP_URL from your public Railway domain, DB_CONNECTION=sqlite, PUID/PGID 1000, a test schedule of every six hours (0 */6 * * *), TZ and PORT=80. The health check path is /api/healthcheck. SQLite is the default; optionally add a Postgres plugin and set DB_CONNECTION=pgsql with DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD referencing the Postgres service.

Common Use Cases

Monitor latency and throughput to remote or ISP endpoints using custom speedtest servers
Use it as an uptime and latency dashboard with a history of results
Get alerts when measured speeds drop below a threshold

Dependencies for Speedtest Tracker Hosting

lscr.io/linuxserver/speedtest-tracker:1.15.0 container image (built from the Dockerfile in the speedtest-tracker folder)
A Railway volume mounted at /config
Optional: a Railway Postgres service

Implementation Details

Note: tests measure Railway's datacenter link, so pitch it for monitoring remote or ISP endpoints via custom servers, or as an uptime/latency dashboard.

Required variables:

APP_KEY = base64:${{secret(32)}}
APP_URL = https://${{RAILWAY_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}}
DB_CONNECTION = sqlite
PUID = 1000, PGID = 1000
SPEEDTEST_SCHEDULE = 0 */6 * * *
TZ = America/New_York
PORT = 80
