@subsubheading Varnish Cache
@cindex Varnish
Varnish is a fast cache server that sits in between web applications
and end users. It proxies requests from clients and caches the
accessed URLs such that multiple requests for the same resource only
creates one request to the back-end.
@defvr {Scheme Variable} varnish-service-type
Service type for the Varnish daemon.
@end defvr
@deftp {Data Type} varnish-configuration
Data type representing the @code{varnish} service configuration.
This type has the following parameters:
@table @asis
@item @code{package} (default: @code{varnish})
The Varnish package to use.
@item @code{name} (default: @code{"default"})
A name for this Varnish instance. Varnish will create a directory in
@file{/var/varnish/} with this name and keep temporary files there. If
the name starts with a forward slash, it is interpreted as an absolute
directory name.
Pass the @code{-n} argument to other Varnish programs to connect to the
named instance, e.g. @command{varnishncsa -n default}.
@item @code{backend} (default: @code{"localhost:8080"})
The backend to use. This option has no effect if @code{vcl} is set.
@item @code{vcl} (default: #f)
The @dfn{VCL} (Varnish Configuration Language) program to run. If this
is @code{#f}, Varnish will proxy @code{backend} using the default
configuration. Otherwise this must be a file-like object with valid
VCL syntax.
@c Varnish does not support HTTPS, so keep this URL to avoid confusion.
For example, to mirror @url{http://www.gnu.org,www.gnu.org} with VCL you
can do something along these lines:
@example
(define %gnu-mirror
(plain-file
"gnu.vcl"
"vcl 4.1;
backend gnu @{ .host = "www.gnu.org"; @}"))
(operating-system
...
(services (cons (service varnish-service-type
(varnish-configuration
(listen '(":80"))
(vcl %gnu-mirror)))
%base-services)))
@end example
The configuration of an already running Varnish instance can be inspected
and changed using the @command{varnishadm} program.
Consult the @url{https://varnish-cache.org/docs/,Varnish User Guide} and
@url{https://book.varnish-software.com/4.0/,Varnish Book} for
comprehensive documentation on Varnish and its configuration language.
@item @code{listen} (default: @code{'("localhost:80")})
List of addresses Varnish will listen on.
@item @code{storage} (default: @code{'("malloc,128m")})
List of storage backends that will be available in VCL.
@item @code{parameters} (default: @code{'()})
List of run-time parameters in the form @code{'(("parameter" . "value"))}.
@item @code{extra-options} (default: @code{'()})
Additional arguments to pass to the @command{varnishd} process.
