Setup iperf3 as docker container

Did anyone make this work?

I install the docker container:

docker pull mlabbe/iperf3

docker run --name=iperf3 -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 5201:5201/tcp -p 5201:5201/udp mlabbe/iperf3

The container is up and running, but IP@ is 0.0.0.0

pi@Firewalla:~ (Firewalla) $ sudo docker ps

CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

92c8d6c557bd mlabbe/iperf3 "iperf3 -s" 4 seconds ago Up 3 seconds (health: starting) 0.0.0.0:5201->5201/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5201->5201/udp, :::5201->5201/tcp, :::5201->5201/udp iperf3

Now I can specify my IP address: 192.168.1.1 with

pi@Firewalla:~ (Firewalla) $ sudo docker run --name=iperf3 -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 192.168.1.1:999:999/tcp mlabbe/iperf3

And now:

pi@Firewalla:~ (Firewalla) $ sudo docker ps

CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

a653bffc8517 mlabbe/iperf3 "iperf3 -s" 12 seconds ago Up 12 seconds (health: starting) 192.168.1.1:999->999/tcp, 5201/tcp, 5201/udp iperf3

However, I still can not reach out the server, am I missing something here?

Iperf3 is already installed on firewalla. Why do you want to run it in docker?

So that it can stay after reboot unless there is another solution for it

@Alexis, I believe ipef3 is already included standard.

It's in but each time you reboot you need to login and restart it. So not great to say the least

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but if you want to run it at start up you can just do that. You don't need to run a redundant docker container.
