Varnish

Varnish Reverse proxy? Caching proxy? Loadbalancer?

Varnish HTTP accelerator !

Caching

Caching Storing computed data for faster serving of future requests

Basically Pudng stuﬀ in boxes for later use

Protect your server

In the beginning there was ...

Browser cache

Browser cache: expira*on Expires: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 14:57:12 Cache-‐Control: max-‐age=86400, must-‐revalidate

Browser cache: valida*on Last-‐Modiﬁed: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 14:57:12 GMT ETag: “686897696a7c876b7e”

Browser cache: valida*on Last-‐Modiﬁed: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 14:57:12 GMT ETag: “686897696a7c876b7e” Compared with the “If-‐None-‐Match” header. Throws “HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modiﬁed” accordingly

Browser cache: in PHP

Browser cache: in PHP<?php$seconds = 10;$expires = gmdate(D, j M Y H:i:s T, time() + $seconds);header("Expires: $expires");header("Cache-Control: max-age=$seconds, must-revalidate");?><ul> <li>Current date/time: <?= gmdate(D, j M Y H:i:s T)?></li> <li>Expires: <?= $expires ?></li> <li>Cache-control: <?= $seconds?> seconds</li></ul>

Browser cache: in Apache

Browser cache: in ApacheExpiresAc*ve onExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"ExpiresDefault "now plus 4 weeks"ExpiresDefault "modiﬁca*on plus 30 days"ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 month 15 days 2 hours"

Browser cache is your friend !

Problems with browser cache

Problems with browser cache Mul*ple standards Can be ignored by browser Force refresh Cache per client

Solu*ons: use a caching/reverse proxy! Use a caching/reverse proxy Varnish does that It’ll make your site ﬂy!

Setup Varnish

Setup Varnish curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/ GPG-key.txt | apt-key add - echo "deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ debian/ $(lsb_release -s -c) varnish-2.1" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install varnish

Setup Varnish START=yes DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 -T localhost:6082 -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/ varnish_storage.bin,1G" In “/etc/default/varnish”

Setup the backend

Setup the backend Listen 8080 In “/etc/apache2/ports.conf”

Setup the backend backend default { .host = "127.0.0.1"; .port = "8080"; } In “/etc/varnish/default.vcl”

Out of the box Varnish will only ...

... obey your caching headers

... and cache sta*c ﬁles

Time for ac*on !
