dockette/varnish repository overview

⁠Dockette / Varnish

Legacy Docker image for Varnish Cache with the bundled default.vcl and entrypoint used by older Dockette stacks.

Legacy Varnish Cache⁠ image with the bundled default.vcl and the entrypoint used by older Dockette stacks. It keeps the historical behavior on purpose.

⁠Features

• Varnish on dockette/debian:trixie, listening on port 80
• Bundled default.vcl that expects the backend application as app:80
• The entrypoint starts varnishd with the bundled VCL and then follows varnishlog
• No modern healthcheck, init wrapper or generated runtime configuration

⁠Usage

docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 --link app:app dockette/varnish:latest

# Custom VCL, when the default backend or caching rules do not fit your stack
docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 -v "$(pwd)/default.vcl:/etc/varnish/default.vcl:ro" dockette/varnish:latest

⁠Configuration

Defaults of the legacy image:

• VARNISH_SECRET=/etc/varnish/secret
• VARNISH_CONFIG=/etc/varnish/default.vcl
• VARNISH_CACHE=256m
• VARNISH_PORT=80
