# How to benchmark server performance using Speedtest and SysBench
|
||
|
||
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcq2iZUcQQY "How to benchmark server performance using Speedtest and SysBench")
|
||
|
||
> Heads-up: Speedtest is known for tracking users therefore it is recommended to run the following benchmark tests on staging servers.
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- Virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server running Debian 10 (buster) or Debian 11 (bullseye)
|
||
|
||
## Caveats
|
||
|
||
- When copy/pasting commands that start with `$`, strip out `$` as this character is not part of the command
|
||
- When copy/pasting commands that start with `cat << "EOF"`, select all lines at once (from `cat << "EOF"` to `EOF` inclusively) as they are part of the same (single) command
|
||
|
||
## Setup guide
|
||
|
||
### Step 1: check if [backports](https://backports.debian.org/) repository is enabled
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep "backports"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 2: enable backports repository (required if previous command returned nothing)
|
||
|
||
> Heads-up: run `cat /etc/debian_version` to find Debian version.
|
||
|
||
#### Debian 10 (buster)
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cat << "EOF" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main
|
||
EOF
|
||
apt update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Debian 11 (bullseye)
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cat << "EOF" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main
|
||
EOF
|
||
apt update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 3: install apt-transport-https, cURL and GnuPG
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
apt update
|
||
apt install -y apt-transport-https curl gnupg2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 4: import [Speedtest](https://www.speedtest.net/)’s PGP public key
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/gpgkey | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/speedtest-cli.gpg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 5: enable Speedtest’s repository
|
||
|
||
> Heads-up: run `cat /etc/debian_version` to find Debian version.
|
||
|
||
#### Debian 10 (buster)
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
echo -e "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/speedtest-cli.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/debian/ buster main\ndeb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/speedtest-cli.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/debian/ buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest-cli.list
|
||
apt update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Debian 11 (bullseye)
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
echo -e "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/speedtest-cli.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/debian/ bullseye main\ndeb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/speedtest-cli.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/debian/ bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest-cli.list
|
||
apt update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 6: install Speedtest and SysBench
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
apt install -y speedtest sysbench
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

## Usage guide
|
||
|
||
### Benchmark network
|
||
|
||
> Heads-up: depending on iptables or nftables firewall configuration, running following commands may be required.
|
||
|
||
#### iptables
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
|
||
ip6tables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### nftables
|
||
|
||
> Heads-up: replace `firewall` if needed (see `nft list ruleset`).
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
nft add rule ip firewall output tcp dport http-alt accept
|
||
nft add rule ip6 firewall output tcp dport http-alt accept
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ speedtest
|
||
