Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

If you don't specify your own vcl_conf file, then these attributes are used in the cookbook default.vcl template:

  • node['varnish']['backend_host'] = Host to serve/cache content from (localhost)
  • node['varnish']['backend_port'] = Port on backend host to access (8080)

Recipes

default

Installs the varnish package, manages the default varnish configuration file, and the init script defaults file.

apt_repo

If placed before the default recipe in the run list, the official Varnish project apt repository will offer access to more version and platform support.

Usage

On systems that need a high performance caching server, use recipe[varnish]. Additional configuration can be done by modifying the default.vcl.erb and ubuntu-default.erb templates. By default the custom-default.erb is set up to run with the varnish defaults, and a simple default.vcl.
