Docker Run

Run the Docker image using the docker run command. Here are examples adjusted for the new environment variables:

1. Testing a Single URL:

   docker run -e URLS="http://example.com" -e USERNAME="user" -e PASSWORD="pass" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
   

2. Testing Multiple URLs:

   docker run -e URLS="http://example.com,http://example2.com" -e USERNAME="user" -e PASSWORD="pass" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
   

Docker Compose

Example docker-compose.yml file adjusted for the new script:

version: '3'

services:
  apachebench:
    image: git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
    environment:
      URLS: "http://example.com,http://example2.com" # Comma-separated list of URLs
      USERNAME: "user" # Basic auth username
      PASSWORD: "pass" # Basic auth password
      REQUESTS: 100 # Number of requests for Apache Bench
      CONCURRENCY: 10 # Number of multiple requests to make at a time

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

docker-compose up

Customizing the Configuration

Adjust the URLS, USERNAME, PASSWORD, REQUESTS, and CONCURRENCY environment variables to meet your testing needs. Here's the purpose of each:

• URLS: Comma-separated list of URLs to test.
• USERNAME and PASSWORD: Credentials for HTTP Basic Authentication.
• REQUESTS: Number of requests to perform with Apache Bench.
• CONCURRENCY: Number of multiple requests to make at a time.

This setup allows you to run authenticated performance tests in a Docker environment, offering an automated approach to benchmarking and analyzing the performance of web services.
