Base image to run a Varnish server
If your content server is using port 80 and you want to run it with the default rules:
docker run -d --name backend tutum/hello-world
docker run -d --link backend -p 80:80 tutum/varnish
Go to http://localhost/
and you will get a superfast cached version of a hello world!
If your content server is using a port different than 80 (i.e. 8080) and you want to run it with the default rules:
docker run -d --link backend -e BACKEND_PORT=8080 -p 80:80 tutum/varnish
If you want to use your own custom VCL file:
docker run -d -e CONTENT="-f /etc/varnish/default.vcl" -v $PWD/default.vcl:/etc/varnish/default.vcl -p 80:80 tutum/varnish
If you want to use your own custom VCL file passing in its contents:
docker run -d -e CONTENT_VCL="`awk 1 ORS='\\n' file.vcl`" -p 80:80 tutum/varnish
