Speedtest Tracker
Proof that it slows down at eight
Runs a speed test on a schedule and keeps the results, so 'the internet is slow' becomes a graph with times on it. That is the difference between an argument with your provider and a support ticket they have to answer.

speedtestInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install speedtestWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Speedtest Tracker | :8765 | Ships with admin@example.com / password. Change both on the first visit. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- Hourly is plenty. Every fifteen minutes mostly measures the speed tests fighting each other for the line
- Pin a specific test server in Settings, otherwise a change of server looks like a change of speed
- APP_KEY is generated at install and encrypts the stored results; replacing it makes the existing history unreadable
