This is a tool to measure your download speed statistics over time. It runs on a local sqlite database for simplicity. I'm planning to run this on a cron and build a for a parent node to poll the children for data.

Get the .git file, do nothing else

git clone -n [email protected]:bmsandoval/gofastcom.git --depth 1
cd gofastcom

Get a local copy of master

git fetch
git pull

Run program on loop, watching for updates to master repo

. ./scripts/run.sh

Must do local setup if you want to use multiple network interfaces

Install golang

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.7.linux-armv6l.tar.gz -O go.tar.gz &&
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go.tar.gz &&
rm https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.7.linux-armv6l.tar.gz &&
cat > ~/.bashrc<< 'EOF'
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
EOV

Setup Network Interface Hopper (firejail)

• Install Firejail

sudo apt install firejail

• Configure it by changing restricted_network to no

sudo vim /etc/firejail/firejail.config

• Check your network interfaces

ip link show

• Give it a test

firejail --dns=8.8.8.8 --noprofile --net=enxa0cec8d9f9c8 ./builds/gof_pi4 measure

firejail --dns=8.8.8.8 --noprofile --net=eth0 ./builds/gof_pi4 measure

Setup sd card

These instructions are based on a Mac

• flash a sd card. BalenaEtcher works pretty good on mac
• setup ssh before pi's first boot, create an empty 'ssh' file in the base directory of your sd card

touch /Volumes/boot/ssh

• optionally setup your wifi network before startup in a similar way

cat > /Volumes/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf<< 'EOF'
country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="MyNetworkSSID"
psk="Pa55w0rd1234"
}
EOF

• that last step just created a sample file. update it as needed

vim /Volumes/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf

Boot the Pi and login

• now boot your pi with the sd card in. I'd recommend watching your router for a new ip to pop up
• once you know the ip, ssh into the pi ssh pi@ip_address. reminder that the initial user is pi and password is raspberry
• before you do anything else, this is a pi's first boot, so change at least the password
  • this is highly recommended since you will have a ssh key stored on it for your github

Setup SSH Keys

• create your ssh keys by running ssh-keygen -t rsa and just hit enter a few times
• start the ssh agent eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
• add the new ssh keys to your keychaing ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Setup Git

• actually install git sudo apt install git
• add the id_rsa.pub to your github's ssh keys
• should now be able to clone this repo
  • clone it into your home directory cd; git clone [email protected]:bmsandoval/gofastcom.git

Install Docker

• follow the instructions on https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
• run the following to install docker ce on the pi

curl -fSLs https://get.docker.com | sudo sh

• now we need to install docker compose. sudo apt install docker-compose -y
• docker-compose likely won't work at first. Restart the pi sudo shutdown -r now
• now try starting the builder docker-compose up

Optional Steps

On boot, pull changes and start the container

• Create a staging cron file in the cron.d directory

echo "@reboot cd /gofastcom; ./scripts/run-docker.sh; make run-docker" > /etc/cron.d/pi-boot-cron

• Give execution rights on the pi-cron job

chmod 0644 /etc/cron.d/pi-boot-cron

• Apply pi-cron job

crontab /etc/cron.d/pi-boot-cron

(OPTIONAL) Hot-reload container

sandman at hunin in ~/projects/gofastcom on master $ ./app ./app: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by ./app)
