    A question for all users and would be users:

    What would like to see a Globalping probe do or support to make it more valuable to you?

    Essentially I'm looking for ideas for new features that would make it more attractive to host probes.

    Currently I have this:

    1. Local internet monitoring. ISP quality, performance, uptime... Stats that would allow you to see how your provider performs. That's in our TODO.
    2. New hardware probes with a screen to show the ISP data above. But so far can't find a way to build the device cheaply enough.

    Others have suggested:
    A. Dynamic DNS. Allow any probe to get a public hostname and keep it up to date.
    But don't like it mostly because of the potential for abuse. Whatever domain we decide to use could immediately he used to host phishing and malware.
    Plus there are already too many solutions.

    Any other suggestions?

    1 sounds good

    Don't worry I'm constantly getting more and more free servers so 3rd place will be mine 😁

    I could put myself into the 3rd place, but to lazy to set them all up.

  • @jimaek I’ll try to spin that container in my pi in Buenos Aires, I turned off a ryzen box I had laying around that had amongst some other stuff yer probes,sir.

    You been super responsive some months ago via email!

    Cheers,mate.

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    @inthecloudblog thanks, ping me anytime!

    @Neoon if you missed it we now have auto adoption. So you only need to run a single command on all of your servers.

    Is it possible somehow to manually change the username without changing it on github? Alternatively, is it possible to transfer all the probes to a new github account without re-installing all of them?

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    Changing username would most likely break stuff. Moving probes can be done with a new adoption token or I could do it manually if you message me the details

    Or - would it be possible to have a different display name (instead of changing the username)

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    That's a good idea, I'll add it to our to do

  • LeviLevi Member

    Jin Maek, how’s the project going? Did you find the way to monetize it?

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    It's growing, just not as fast as it could be due to the limited budget. The monetization path is clear and relies on heavy users donating to get extra credits, as well as sponsors to keep our expenses low.

    Thank you for the answer. Best of luck with your project.

    No, please don't do that. Instead, you can help me beat @sh97 by running this command:

    docker pull globalping/globalping-probe; docker stop globalping-probe; docker rm globalping-probe;
    docker run -d -e GP_ADOPTION_TOKEN=m5ier355b6ecyixvoy3hkwvjd7qq35bv --log-driver local --network host --restart=always --name globalping-probe globalping/globalping-probe

    I am not a docker user, so meh, more work, to install more bloat.

    How do you run that? I can't find anything except docker.

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    It's still via Docker, but now it's a single command instead of manual log based adoption.

    No way without Docker or podman unfortunately :(

    Neither, I don't install docker or anything else for just one app.

    Just for you, I compiled an experimental version into a binary using https://github.com/NilsIrl/dockerc

    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7b3rqubxso2ftgfxpr8x4/globalping_bin?rlkey=k6j3470fq568t5173tn27cswm&dl=0

    But it will probably stop working at some point

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    Actually dockerc worked so well that I opened an issue to consider fully supporting it https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping-probe/issues/289

  • Sorry if I missed it but is there a way to connect the hardware probe to a user?

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    @HackedServer said:

    Sure, the old way by checking the logs for the unique code. Just register and follow the instructions in the dashboard.

    @jimaek plans on adding ipinfo.io db to the list of geoip?

    I also feel that the city that you manually set sometimes reset? Is this even possible?

    perhaps even @Operable4829 can sponsor their ISP/hosting detection stuff too :)

  • jimaekjimaek Member

    We already use ipinfo, you can find the full logic over here https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping/blob/master/docs/geoip.md

    I also feel that the city that you manually set sometimes reset? Is this even possible?

    We'll check, PM me any details you might have

    Sure about that? Dropdown to select country doesn't appear in this probe, and so, I have a bunch not added since I don't want to lie to ppl lol (I assume by the logic you use that since it's the only db that reports it as Germany, it gets disqualified and not shown)

    (can PM any details, just don't want to expose this IP xD)
