Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions.

Deployment

Podman Compose

services:
  openspeedtest:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:latest"
    container_name: openspeedtest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID for the application process
      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    # always (not unless-stopped) so FreeBSD's podman rc.d auto-starts it at boot
    restart: always

Save as compose.yaml, then run podman-compose up -d.

AppJail Director

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=openspeedtest
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:
services:
  openspeedtest:
    name: openspeedtest
    options:
      - container: 'args:--pull'
      - expose: '3000:3000 proto:tcp'
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=latest

OPTION container=boot
OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:${tag}

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

To avoid exposing ports, just remove the expose option in your appjail-director.yml or from your command-line arguments.

Podman CLI

podman run -d --name openspeedtest \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:latest

Save as run.sh, then run sh run.sh.

AppJail

appjail oci run -Pd \
  -o overwrite=force \
  -o container="args:--pull" \
  -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
  -o nat \
  -o expose="3000:3000 proto:tcp" \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:latest openspeedtest

Save the files above, then run sh run.sh.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

To avoid exposing ports, just remove the expose option in your appjail-director.yml or from your command-line arguments.

Bastille

Warning

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.

services:
  openspeedtest:
    name: openspeedtest
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:latest"
    network:
      - mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC

Save as bastille-compose.yml, then run bastille up. Or via CLI:

bastille create -O \
  --env PUID=1000 \
  --env PGID=1000 \
  --env TZ=UTC \
  openspeedtest ghcr.io/daemonless/openspeedtest:latest inherit
