Does SpeedKetchup need Docker?
No. It is one statically linked binary for Linux, macOS and Windows; the Docker image is worth using when you want the container to own the results folder rather than a systemd unit.
SpeedKetchup: Scheduled Internet Speed Tests
Run an internet speed test against speedtest.net every few minutes and keep every result in a CSV file. One small binary, web page and charts included, with no database to run.

Common questions
Where does SpeedKetchup keep its results?
In a plain CSV file, one line per test, which you can open in a spreadsheet or point a script at. It can also write each result to InfluxDB and publish it to MQTT while keeping the CSV.
Does SpeedKetchup work with Home Assistant?
Yes. Point it at your MQTT broker and it publishes each result with Home Assistant discovery, so download, upload, latencies, the last test time and a failure sensor appear by themselves.
