How are your experiences with Varnish on a shared hosting server?

[peps03]

Hi,
Thinking about installing Varnish on a new shared hosting server. Following this guide for example:

nginx + varnish + apache + SSL ( working fine )

how use varnish with SSL (HTTPS) in directadmin : 1. Install NGINX+Apache+php-fpm 2. Install Varnish 6 download : http://varnish-cache.org/ https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache yum install epel-release yum install varnish 3. change ram usage : in file : /etc/varnish/varnish.params default...

forum.directadmin.com

Or by using this plugin: https://unixy.net/secure/knowledgebase/37/How-do-I-install-the-DirectAdmin-Varnish-Plugin.html

A few questions:
- Will users be able to switch varnish on / off?
- Can users (easily) purge their Varnish cache?
- Any other things to pay attention too?

Many thanks!

Its not natively supported in DA. I doubt many use varnish. I have thought about trying it currently no time.

Get a test server and do it and let us know how it goes.
