Welcome page

The instance is configured so that Varnish answers on port 80 and 443. By accessing the instance’s IP address in a browser, you should see a welcome page. This requires you to have the ports open.

Logging into the server

The default username for the instance is opc. With the SSH key you used when creating the instance, you can login to the server with this command:

Parameter tuning

The default settings of your Varnish instance suit most Varnish users, but we advise you to take 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 look at system parameters, run this command:

sudo systemctl cat varnish.service

To change the runtime options, input the following command on your Varnish instance:

sudo systemctl edit varnish.service

Edit and save the file. Now restart Varnish by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart varnish.service
