Docker Run

Run the Docker image using the docker run command. I'll provide examples for different scenarios:

1. Testing a Single URL:

   docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="report" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
   

2. Testing Multiple URLs:

   docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com,http://example2.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="report" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
   

3. Using Fail-Fast Mode:

   docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="fail-fast" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
   

Docker Compose

Example docker-compose.yml file that sets up the same configuration:

version: '3'

services:
  apachebench:
    image: git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
    environment:
      TARGET_URLS: "http://example.com,http://example2.com" # Comma-separated list of URLs
      MAX_TIME: 1 # Maximum acceptable response time
      VARIANCE: 2 # Acceptable time variance
      TEST_MODE: "report" # Can be "report" or "fail-fast"
      NUM_REQUESTS: 500 # Number of requests to perform
      CONCURRENCY: 20 # Number of multiple requests to make at a time

Run the service defined in the docker-compose.yml file, use:

docker-compose up

Customizing the Configuration

You can modify the TARGET_URLS, MAX_TIME, VARIANCE, and TEST_MODE environment variables to suit your specific testing needs. Here's what each variable represents:

• TARGET_URLS: A comma-separated list of URLs to test.
• MAX_TIME: The target maximum response time in seconds.
• VARIANCE: The acceptable variance in response time in seconds.
• TEST_MODE: The mode of operation, either report to test all URLs regardless of individual results, or fail-fast to stop testing as soon as a URL fails the performance criteria.

This setup allows you to run performance tests in a Docker environment, providing an automated way to benchmark and analyze the performance of various web services.
