# Ansible Role: Varnish
An Ansible Role that installs Varnish 5 on Debian/Ubuntu Linux.
Stripped down version from [geerlingguy](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-varnish).
## Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see
`defaults/main.yml`):
varnish_config_path: /etc/varnish
The path in which Varnish configuration files will be stored.
varnish_use_default_vcl: true
Whether to use the included (simplistic) default Varnish VCL, using the
backend host/port defined with the next two variables. Set this to
`false` and copy your own `default.vcl` file into the
`varnish_config_path` if you'd like to use a more complicated setup. If
this variable is set to `true`, all other configuration will be taken
from Varnish's own [default
VCL](https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/browser/bin/varnishd/default.vcl?rev=3.0).
varnish_default_vcl_template_path: default.vcl.j2
The default VCL file to be copied (if `varnish_use_default_vcl` is
`true`). Defaults the the simple template inside
`templates/default.vcl.j2`. This path should be relative to the
directory from which you run your playbook.
varnish_default_backend_host: "127.0.0.1"
varnish_default_backend_port: "8080"
Some settings for the default "default.vcl" template that will be copied
to the `varnish_config_path` folder. The default backend host/port could
be Apache or Nginx (or some other HTTP server) running on the same host
or some other host (in which case, you might use port 80 instead).
varnish_listen_port: "80"
The port on which Varnish will listen (typically port 80).
varnish_secret: false
The secret/key to be used for connecting to Varnish's admin backend (for
purge requests, etc.). Must be redefined (hint: use uuidgen).
varnish_admin_listen_host: "127.0.0.1"
varnish_admin_listen_port: "6082"
The host and port through which Varnish will accept admin requests (like
purge and status requests).
varnish_storage: "file,/var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,256M"
How Varnish stores cache entries (this is passed in as the argument for
`-s`). If you want to use in-memory storage, change to something like
`malloc,256M`. Please read Varnish's [Getting Started
guide](https://www.varnish-software.com/static/book/Getting_started.html)
for more information.
## Dependencies
