Varnish Installation

Foreword

The following article describes how to install Varnish and the additional package Varnish Modules for Debian.

Varnish provides an installation script to install the correct repository:

curl -Ls https://packages.varnish-software.com/varnish/bootstrap-deb.sh | sh

If a specific version branch such as 8.0 is to be used, the version must be fixed via APT pinning:

nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/varnish

Package: varnish
Pin: version 8.0.*
Pin priority: 1001

Varnish can then be installed as follows:

apt install -y varnish

If a specific version branch is already used for Varnish, this must also be fixed for Varnish modules via APT pinning:

nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/varnish-modules

Package: varnish-modules
Pin: version 8.0.*
Pin priority: 1001

The Varnish-Modules package can then be installed as follows:

apt install -y varnish-modules
