Description

Description

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I was under the impression that software can be used as a local test server, not just a web page with a list of other test servers.

Server

1.1.5 with no custom settings

Client

firefox-116.0-2.fc38.x86_64

Steps to reproduce

  • Download speedtest-go_1.1.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  • Unarchive file, e.g. tar xzf speedtest-go_1.1.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  • Run ./speedtest-backend
  • Go to http://127.0.0.1:8989/

Expected behaviour

A web based test using this server

Screenshots

LibreSpeed Example

No servers available

Research direction

Start by running ./speedtest-backend from the 1.1.5 archive and reproducing the behavior at http://127.0.0.1:8989/. Inspect how the default configuration serves the local page and determine why it reports “No servers available”; done means the default setup provides the expected web-based test without custom settings.
