Installs and configures varnish.

• Current public release.

• COOK-648 - add RHEL support
• COOK-873 - better configuration control via attributes

Tested on:

• Ubuntu 10.04
• Debian 6.0

• node['varnish']['dir'] - location of the varnish configuration directory

• node['varnish']['default'] - location of the default file that controls the varnish init script on Debian/Ubuntu systems.

• node['varnish']['nfiles'] - Maximum number of open files (for ulimit -n)

• node['varnish']['instance'] - Default varnish instance name is the local nodename

• node['varnish']['listen']['host'] - Host address that Varnish listens for connections on

• node['varnish']['listen']['port'] - Port that Varnish listens for connections on

• node['varnish']['admin']['host'] - Host address that Varnish admin interface listens on

• node['varnish']['admin']['port'] - Port that Varnish admin interface listens on

• node['varnish']['backend']['host'] - Backend address of content server that Varnish serves content from

• node['varnish']['backend']['port'] - Backend port of content server that Varnish serves content from

• node['varnish']['user'] - User Varnish runs as

• node['varnish']['group'] - Group Varnish runs as

• node['varnish']['storage'] - Storage type parameters that specify how Varnish caches objects

Installs the varnish package, manages the default varnish configuration file, and the init script defaults file.

On systems that need a high performance caching server, use recipe[varnish]. Additional configuration can be done by modifying the default.vcl.erb and ubuntu-default.erb templates. By default the ubuntu-default.erb is set up for minimal configuration with no VCL.
