varnish-cache-template by Section

Welcome to your project template, generated by Section! You've just deployed this application to the Section platform, which is a fully managed, high-performance hosting platform for web applications. This template is designed to help you get started with your project on the Section platform quickly and easily. If you need more information or resources, please visit the Section documentation.

Getting Started

Follow the steps below to get started with your project on the Section platform:

Your origin definitions

This Varnish Cache template leverages nginx as it's egress controller so that we can have more granular control over connections with external services. The out-of-the-box implementation uses the latest nginx Docker image as the base, and the default.conf file located in the root of this repository defines the origin traffic routing behaviors.

Updating your origin

  1. Navigate to the default.conf file located in the root of this repo.
  2. Click the pencil icon (Edit this file) in the top right corner of the file view.
  3. Make the necessary changes to the file.
  4. Scroll down to the "Commit changes" section.
  5. Add a commit message describing the changes you made.
  6. Click "Commit changes".

Note: The out of the box origin definition is configured to serve the default nginx static home page. In order to use Nginx as a reverse proxy, reference the proxy_pass example commented out in the default.conf file.

Updating your Varnish Cache configuration

  1. Navigate to the default.vcl file located at k8s/base/varnish/default.vcl.
  2. Click the pencil icon (Edit this file) in the top right corner of the file view.
  3. Make the necessary changes to the file.
  4. Scroll down to the "Commit changes" section.
  5. Add a commit message describing the changes you made.
  6. Click "Commit changes".
