Yeah I've got it running on a VM w/ Docker, but ideally I'd do the same. But luckily a beefy server, so the paravirtualization (virtio) doesn't affect things too much afaik.At least that's powerful, reliable and - most importantly - wired directly into the core switch with no virtualisation nonsense.
The setup for SmokePing is way more simple w/ Docker that's for sure, it was a headache setting it up w/o Docker on CentOS awhile back as iirc the documentation wasn't the best.
Sounds good, would love to see them stats, let me know if you have any issues w/ changing those settings or setting up the Targets (if you want a cut down version of mine I can provide), & be sure to add fastly.com so it's a fair testThanks again for your settings, I'll match them and compare back with you in a few days/week.
& Just as a FYI if you increase the RRD history to the same size as mine (the bottom half of the Database file). It'll be quite big, as in 140MB for each target w/ my settings as it reserves the space ahead of time.
