The default settings for your Varnish instance suit most Varnish users, but we advise you to have a look and update the configuration according to your needs.
Our documentation site has a reference section with the available runtime options. This will help you properly configure your Varnish process.
To check out the system parameters, run this command:

To change the runtime options, input the following command on your Varnish instance:
sudo systemctl edit varnish.service
Edit, as needed, and save the file.
Lastly, restart Varnish by running the following command:
