Synology Install OpenSpeedTest With Portainer

My previous guide for OpenSpeedTest involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest OpenSpeedTest version via Portainer. OpenSpeedTest is the most accurate and powerful online bandwidth test. You can use it to test your Home/Office LAN speed including your Local Area Network/Wi-Fi. The tool is designed to replicate your real-world connection speed. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install OpenSpeedTest on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest OpenSpeedTest v2.0.5 release.
