ecs is a VPS benchmark and testing script that evaluates server performance across multiple Linux distributions and architectures.
The tool addresses the need for comprehensive server diagnostics by running a suite of tests including performance benchmarks, network speed tests, and system checks. It works by executing shell-based testing routines that measure CPU, memory, disk, and network performance, along with IP quality detection. The script supports interactive and non-interactive parameter modes, allowing users to run tests with or without manual input.
Developers should adopt this tool if they manage or evaluate VPS infrastructure across diverse environments. It suits teams needing quick server assessments on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, AlmaLinux, OracleLinux, RockyLinux, AstraLinux, or Arch systems. The tool supports multiple architectures including amd64, arm64, i386, and arm. However, the README explicitly recommends that users encountering specific constraints should use the Go version instead: those needing to test on unlisted systems or architectures, those experiencing bugs or dependency errors, those wanting minimal environment changes, those unable to run with root or sudo privileges, or those preferring comprehensive and faster testing with custom compilation.
The project is in maintenance mode only, with the README stating that new feature development has ceased for the Shell version and been fully migrated to a Golang rewrite. The tool includes a one-click bug-fix script for resolving system-specific issues before testing. Documentation is available in multiple languages to support international users.
