How to install Varnish centos/Ubuntu

[Me.B]

Hi,

[Centos]

The easiest way

yum install varnish

You will get a stable varnish release BUT not the latest to get the latest you should use another repos like the official one:

Varnish 4.0:

Code:

rpm --nosignature -i https://repo.varnish-cache.org/redhat/varnish-4.0.el6.rpm
yum install varnish

Varnish 3.0:

Code:

rpm --nosignature -i https://repo.varnish-cache.org/redhat/varnish-3.0.el6.rpm
yum install varnish

[Ubuntu]

apt-get install varnish

From official repos:

Code:

apt-get install apt-transport-https
curl https://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/GPG-key.txt | apt-key add -
echo "deb https://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/ precise varnish-4.0" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/varnish-cache.list
apt-get update
apt-get install varnish

Varnish can be used mainly to cache web pages/ressources or as a basic load balancer/caching.

No SSL Support but can far beat Nginx on static pages & very reliable for 370k prog!

Not really related to the guide...
Varnish or Cloudflare?
Or both?

[Me.B]

Cloudflare are nginx based and offer more features like CDN wich is a distributed cache while if you use your own varnish it's only one frontend.

I would not use both.

Can you do a Centos one?

I will not do a CentOS one, However the stepts are not much different, check Varnish links on my guide and just adapt. It should not pose any crucial differences
