Netmon - Simple Go wrapper for SpeedTest.net Python with Web interface

This is an experiment on how to write a Go program that interacts with a Web interface through WebSockets. There is an accompanying repository with a React web interface intended to work with the Go program.

To use the program, you will need the following:

1. Clone and build this repository with go (go build . from the cloned netmon directory).
2. Clone the React Web GUI and compile (See the instructions in README.md).
3. Place the contents of the React Web GUI's build directory into the www subdirectory relative to where the netmon program is run.
4. Include the speedtest-cli program from Github in your search path.

At this point, the netmon program can be run.

The usage for the program is as follows:

Usage of ./netmon:
  -addr string
        http service address (default ":8080")
  -period int
        The period (in minutes) between calls to speedtest-cli (default 60)
  -server int
        The server ID to use for speedtest-cli. If -1 is provided,
        speedtest-cli will choose the 'best' server. (default -1)

netmon-client

In addition to supporting web clients, the repository also includes a simple Go command-line client called netmon-client. It can be built by simply running go build . in the netmon-client directory.

The usage for netmon-client is as follows:

Usage of ./netmon-client:
  -ip string
        IP address or name of netmon server (default "localhost")
  -port int
        TCP port number to use to connect to the netmon server (default 8080)
