on all the varnish
node so that they can communicate with the VAC.

Note: We recommend to only expose Varnish Administration Console on the internal network and keep it off the Internet.
The process is straightforward, just install the vac
package, and the service
will be automatically started for you:
sudo apt install vac
It’s first necessary to configure the mongoDB
repositories that will be used
to provide some of the VAC dependencies. Please follow these instructions.
You can then install the vac
package and start/enable it as this is not
automatic on these platforms:
sudo yum install vac
sudo systemctl enable vac
sudo systemctl start vac
Confirm that the service is active
:
sudo systemctl status vac
If so, you should be able to connect to the server via regular http
(http://$VAC_IP/) and log in with the default login and password
(vac
:vac
).
The license can be activated in two ways, either using the command line, or via the web interface.
Simply log into the VAC and you will be presented with a page offering to upload your license file.
Alternatively, to automate the installation process, you can simply copy the
license file to /var/opt/vac/license.vac
and restart the service:
sudo cp $YOUR_LICENSE_FILE /var/opt/vac/license.vac
sudo systemctl restart vac
