  speedtest-tracker:
    container_name: speedtest-tracker
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/speedtest-tracker:latest
    ports:
      - '8072:80'   # Maps port 80 inside the container to port 8072 on the host for HTTP access.
      - '8472:443'  # Maps port 443 inside the container to port 8472 on the host for HTTPS access.
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # Sets the user ID the service will run as.
      - PGID=1000  # Sets the group ID the service will run as.
      - APP_KEY=base64:s5xs13....  # Application key for Laravel framework security. Generate a App Key here - https://speedtest-tracker.dev
      - APP_URL=https://speedtest.yoursite/localIP.com  # Public URL where the Speedtest Tracker will be accessible.

      - DISPLAY_TIMEZONE=Pacific/Auckland  # Sets the timezone for displaying data in the UI.
    volumes:
      - ./data:/config  # Mounts the directory for persistent data.

    restart: unless-stopped  # Ensures the container restarts unless it is explicitly stopped.

Deployment Instructions

Prepare the Environment: Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your host machine.
Create a Docker Compose File: Create a new file named docker-compose.yml and copy the above content into this file.
Prepare Data and SSL Directories: Create the data and ssl-keys directories in the same directory as your docker-compose.yml. This ensures proper permissions and data persistence.
Start the Container: Navigate to the directory containing your docker-compose.yml and run the following command to start Speedtest Tracker:
```
docker compose up -d
```
This command will start the Speedtest Tracker in detached mode, allowing it to run in the background.
Access the Web Interface: Once the container is running, access the Speedtest Tracker web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8072 or https://localhost:8472 depending on your setup.

Additional Notes

Make sure the ports in the docker-compose.yml do not conflict with other services on your host.
Adjust the SPEEDTEST_SCHEDULE environment variable to change the frequency of speed tests as needed.
