An Varnish running inside docker.

A Docker container for setting up Vanish. This server can respond to requests from any client browser with cached content after the initial request has been successful. This container best suites development purposes.

This is a sample Varnish docker container used to test Wordpress installation on http://globalfoodbook.com

To build this varnish server run the following command:

$ docker pull globalfoodbook/varnish

This will run on a default port of 80.

To run the server and expose it on port 80 of the host machine, run the following command:

$ docker run --name=varnish --link=gfb:backend -e VARNISH_HOST=globalfoodbook.com  --detach=true --publish=80:80 --tty=true varnish

NB:

Take note the linking above --link=gfb:backend.. 'backend' is compulsory as it is being referenced within (Environment variables).
