A varnish 3 buildout

[TOC]

Introduction

This is the a very basic buildout template to run varnish.

I am feeling lucky!

Lucky people read the documentation, anyway if you have a local copy of this buildout, try to run this command:

make

For the impatients

To start the buildout:

python2.7 bootstrap.py &&  ./bin/buildout

To launch varnish:

./bin/varnish

Requirements

You may want to install this to get this buildout working:

# python stuff
apt-get install python-dev python-virtualenv
# other stuff
apt-get install libpcre++-dev libreadline-dev

How to modify this buildout

The varnish template for the configuration is in templates/varnish.vcl.in. This template is inspired by http://developer.plone.org/hosting/varnish.html#id12. The buildout will compile this file and create a file in etc/varnish.vcl.
