installation without docker don't run speedtest

[Fabick75]

Because of my setup (I need to use an LXC container on Proxmox and don't want to overload the machine with a VM that run docker) I've done an LXC container (basically a striped vm with debian), downloaded the latest release and installed like a normal laravel project. But don't start speedtest-cli to do the measurements.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install a VM with Debian (in my case an LXC container on Proxmox)
2. download latest .tar.gz from github repository and deflate in a destination dir
3. install dependencies (php8.2, composer 2, speedtest-cli, curl, mariadb)
4. run one time speedtest-cli to be sure that works
5. create an empty DB
6. copy .env.example in .env, in the root directory of the archive, then set the database credentials
7. from the root archive directory run: composer install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader --no-dev --no-cache
8. then, from the same place, run : php artisan app:install
9. if everything goes fine, run the service with : php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0
10. open the browser and go to the webpage : http://yourip:8000, then login with default credentials
11. set the interval to make tests (to make some tests I've set every 2 minutes)

Expected behavior:
I expect that the results populate the graphs. Even If i add test with the "queue speedtest" button, nothing appen. Nothing seems to indicate problems in the artisan console

Environment :

• OS: Debian 12.2.0
• Architecture: amd64 (virtualized on Proxmox)
• Browser : Mozilla Firefox 115.7
• Version : 0.15.2

Nothing to add. Only one observation: I cannot find a button to fire up a test directly, I can only add to queue, and there isn't a way to view the queue from the web interface. Or is just me that not understand the UI .

With this .env file :

APP_NAME="Speedtest Tracker"
APP_ENV=local
SPEEDTEST_CLI_PATH="/usr/bin/speedtest"

# Application key
# Used for encryption where needed, if a key is not generated run: php artisan key:generate
APP_KEY=base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

APP_DEBUG=false
APP_LOG=daily
APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1

LOG_CHANNEL=stack
LOG_DEPRECATIONS_CHANNEL=null
LOG_LEVEL=debug

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=speedtracker
DB_USERNAME=speedtracker
DB_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxx

BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=database
FILESYSTEM_DISK=local
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
SESSION_DRIVER=database
SESSION_LIFETIME=120

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailhog
MAIL_PORT=1025
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="hello@example.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Speedtest Tracker"

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=null

and after setting correctly the time zone in php.ini and on the OS (with timedatectl), the project seems to run, but it's needed to run :

php artisan serve
php artisan queue:work
php artisan schedule:work

in three separate consoles.

If someone suggest another way to launch the project outside of a container, I will be grateful.

Converting this to a discussion, not currently supporting bare metal installs but if you get it working it'll be nice to have documented.
