Scheduled test is not running at the correct, scheduled time

[ampersandru]

In general settings, I have 0 5 * * * as my scheduled speed test, which should be every day at 5 AM. However, it is running the speed test every day at 22:00, which is 10 PM. I don't believe it's a timezone issue because when I manually run a test, the shown last run time is correct.

Double check your time zone as the default is UTC. Also improvements will be made in connection with #194

I don't believe it's a timezone issue because when I manually run a test, the shown last run time is correct.

Configure TZ env variable in docker-compose and also the localtime volume mapping:

version: '3.3'
services:
  speedtest-tracker:
    image: ghcr.io/alexjustesen/speedtest-tracker:v0.5.0
    container_name: speedtest-tracker
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8008:443
    environment:
      TZ: Europe/Rome
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
      DB_CONNECTION: mysql
      DB_HOST: mariadb.axel.dom
      DB_PORT: 3306
      DB_DATABASE: speedtest_tracker
      DB_USERNAME: xxxxxxxxxx
      DB_PASSWORD: **********
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - $PWD/config:/config
      - $PWD/certs:/etc/ssl/web

Binding /etc/localtime fixed it, I already had TZ: America/Los_Angeles - I believe it was actually running at 5AM PST but displaying 22:00. Adding the /etc/localtime bind seems to have updated the time on the tests to be 5AM

Thanks!

@alexjustesen this should be added to the docs, it's one of the most common issues.

[alexjustesen]

Yeah that's a good call, I'm opening the issue again until a PR is open or docs updated.

I’m trying to figure the code for running scheduled test on the half hour? Is that possible? I brought back to like an old Mac and built a second server with docker installed. I also have this running on my nas which is testing on the hour. I don’t really want them running at the same time. I’m trying to compare speeds. The speeds on the nas are inconsistent at best.
Thanks

ST supports crontab expressions. Under the expression field, it says: "You can also use the cron expression generator HERE to help you make schedules."

Did you try to use the linked crontab expression generator or at least google it?

I tried that same formula on the expression generator put didn't get it to work. I assume it would yield results on the web page but I guess I was wrong. I placed it in the actual test page an it took, no errors. Thanks

On the right of the expression it says what the expression means in normal language, as you can see here:

Still not working for me, obviously I'm doing something wrong. After entering I press enter and nothing happens? Tried tab also.

You don't have to click return or anything...just type...it's dynamic, here's an animated gif so you see what I'm doing:

I don't see anything in your post.

If it doesn't work, change browser. What browser are you using? What OS?

Or maybe you're using some fancy browser security plugin that blocks javascript etc.

I tried to send you a screenshot. It must be browser related, using Safari. Thanks for your help. I entered formula and it working in speedtest.
