Can we have varnish through a role please? We will have to do a lot of dev & test for it soon.

The default varnish config in /etc/varnish/default.vcl could have this at the very top of the file. Leave all comments there.

backend default {

.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "80";

}

the service can be started with:

sudo varnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:8080

This way varnish will only work if accessed through port 8080 (needs to be mapped to outside), while port 80 will continue be served uncached. The admin port 2000 doesn't have to be patched to the outside (rarely used, can be accessed through ssh).

P.S. Note that varnish config should not be deleted on every vagrant up - there could be a lot of changes during development to that file. Maybe it would make sense to have an include command of some sort the same way as settings.d/ files for vagrant.

Thanks!
