iperf3 installation not working

Deutsch
1

Hello,
I’m trying to install iperf3 on my TS-664 (with QTS 5.2.9.3451), as described in this guide. However, the installation always gets stuck at 45% (or even 50% in the background tasks).

Does anyone have any idea why it’s not working?

Alternatively, does anyone know of another tool I can use to test the transfer speed from my Windows PC (same LAN)?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Christian

I’d try using a container in Containerstation

version: '3.8'
services:
  iperf3:
    image: loganmarchione/docker-iperf3
    container_name: iperf3-server
    command: -s
    ports:
      - "5201:5201/tcp"
      - "5201:5201/udp"
    restart: unless-stopped

Hi dolbyman
Thanks for your reply. :folded_hands: May I also ask you how to create such a container?

Via ContainerStation and then just paste the Compose into Applications>Create

And what if I have an old TS-221 with firmware 4.3.3, where Container Station isn’t available?

Or is it impossible to use iper3 there because the minimum requirement is QTS 4.3.6?

Then Iperf won’t work at all, but on the old junk you can’t even get 1GbE throughput—it’s more like 300-400Mbit/s.

Yeah, I know, but I’m curious about the data throughput, because I do a nightly backup from the “old junk” to the TS-664.
Do you happen to know another way to measure the data throughput?

Just copy a big file and check.

I’d say this thing does about 60–70MB/s max.
