[Feature Request] Select interface used for Speedtest

[drkmtr]

Describe the feature Hey!

First of all, great tool. And even as relative linux n00b, I found the manual instructions very straight-forward, and the installation routine very robust.

A feature I would like to request is the ability to select an interface to run the speedtest against. The native command at the cli allows for the --interface=ARG parameter (where ARG is the system registered name of the network interface. eg. eth0). The server that I run Speedtest-Tracker (native artisan, not docker) has a default NIC (eth0) and a wireguard interface (wg0). It would be a great feature to be able to choose which interface is running the test.

In the meantime, if this can be configured through configuration files, I'd appreciate a pointer to the correct file.

Hey !

I would love to have this option too ! I am running my container on Truenas Scale and it has access to two interface and do not take the one i want :(

Will add this to the to-do list

Would this also pertain to a Synology NAS? I use both a VPN and Local network interface and the Speedtest defaults to using the VPN interface. Just curious.

Great job on this tool, had a fun time learning how to set it up!

any update on this feature? @henrywhitaker3 it's really useful to specify which interface to use

e.g. speedtest-cli --source 10.0.0.3

+1 on this -- my goal was to monitor two different ISPs (I'm subscribed to both and I want to tally instances of downtime and relative speeds).
