Speedtest Tracker

Introduction

I was looking up Docker container to deploy first as my very first Docker container.
First I tried MySpeed which was a simple deploy, but I wanted more information about the health of my internet connection.
So I choose Speedtest Tracker It took me a few tries to get right and spend much time customizing it. In Portainer I added the Speedtest-tracker software stack as a Docker Compose file.
