Role Variables

nperf_dedicated_server: yes

Set this to no if there's any other HTTP(s) services installed on target machine, such as other speedtest services like Ookla or nPerf. Additional configuration will be applied to satisfy requirements.

This creates a 1,2GB tmpfs ramdisk for test files storage, so make sure there is enough memory on target host.

Example Playbook

The following sample playbook installs nPerf server which has Ookla Server also installed:

- name: Install nPerf speedtest server
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  roles:
    - ansible-role-speedtest-nperf
  vars:
    nperf_dedicated_server: no

Save it as "speedtest.yml" and run it with:

ansible-playbook -i "192.168.0.100:29019," speedtest.yml -u myuser --ask-pass --become --ask-become-pass
