isotoma.recipe.varnish 0.0.7

Configuration example

A recipe for this package would look something like:

[varnish]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.varnish
name = mysite
bind = 127.0.0.1:8080
backends = 127.0.0.1:9000
varnishlog = /usr/bin/varnishncsa
logfile = /var/log/varnish/mysite.log

This would create two start scripts in your bin directory: varnish and varnishlog. The log instance will only log activity for this varnish instance.

Mandatory Parameters

bind

The host:port to listen on

backends

A list of backends (note only one backend is currently supported with the default template, because some director code is required. A custom template should work ok though, if you write one.)

Optional Parameters

This identifies the individual varnish instance - see the -n option to varnishd. (required if you are using varnishlog and recommended even if not)

cache-size

The size of the cache.

connect-timeout

runtime-parameters

Any other parameters to pass at runtime
