We don’t have an article on installing Varnish on Ubuntu 14.04 just yet. Though there is one on using Varnish with Apache on Ubuntu 12.04. It should be more or less the same.
Let us know if you run into any problems!
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator and a useful tool for speeding up a server, especially during a times when there is high traffic to a site. It works by redirecting visitors to static pages whenever possible and only drawing on the virtual private server itself if there is a need for an active process. This tutorial covers setting up Varnish with Apache on Ubuntu 12.04.
Thats great thanks. Could I put forward a suggestion? When you do one for ubuntu 14 could you include some info on Varnish and SSL
Thanks

Just wanted to add this here for anyone who stumbles across this old question. Here’s the tutorial that resulted:
Varnish Cache is a caching HTTP reverse proxy, or HTTP accelerator, which reduces the time it takes to serve content to a user. In this tutorial, we will cover how to use Varnish Cache 4.0 to improve the performance of your existing web server. We will also show you a way to add HTTPS support to Varnish, with Nginx performing the SSL termination.
Thats great thanks! One other thing to add to it maybe is how to setup varnish to allow phpmyadmin to still work as I just found out its quite an experience!
