Installation varnish cache on Debian

 

Varnish is distributed in the Debian package repositories, but the version there might be out of date, and we generally recommend using the packages provided by varnish-cache.org or packages from backports.debian.org.

To use the varnish-cache.org repository and install varnish, do the following:

1. curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/GPG-key.txt | apt-key add -
2. echo "deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/ squeeze varnish-3.0" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get install varnish

If you want to install the older 2.1 version, replace varnish-3.0 with varnish-2.1 in the command above.
