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.

I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
