November 9, 20223 yr I want to run the following command: iperf3 -s And keep it running as a service, after every reboot. Basically I need an iperf service always running for various machines to hit, and the Unraid server is the best choice. In SystemD I'd just create a unit file and enable it. In slackware I probably have a service file in /etc/rc.d. In Unraid... I'm not sure since /etc is not persistent. What's the best way to run a persistent, custom service in Unraid. Running it in a VM incurs a bit of overhead and makes the readings unreliable. This needs to run directly on Unraid.
November 10, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Run it in Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/networkstatic/iperf3 EDIT: Will be available in Apps in about an hour. Edited November 10, 20223 yr by Kilrah
November 13, 20223 yr Author Tried it, runs great, thanks! Great idea to make a template out of it... I've search the CA a few times and have been surprised it wasn't there already. Amazingly, the performance appears identical in Docker compared to bare-metal.
