How-to use docker hub image

DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/balmer/varnish-basic-auth/

docker run -d -e "PROXY_TARGET=example.com" -e "PROXY_TARGET_PORT=8080" -p 80:80 balmer/varnish-basic-auth

Quick How-to for a manual build

docker build -t varnish-basic-auth .
docker run -d -e "PROXY_TARGET=IP|DNS-NAME" -e "PROXY_TARGET_PORT=80" -p 80:80 varnish-basic-auth

Notes

If you don't specify PROXY_TARGET_PORT, it will point to default port 80.

To change the port Varnish is listening to - modify ENV VARNISHD_PARAMS in Dockerfile or use -e VARNISHD_PARAMS="-a :YOUR_PORT -p default_ttl=3600 -p default_grace=3600" when running docker container.

Example:

Docker file

ENV VARNISHD_PARAMS -a :YOUR_PORT_HERE

Running docker image

docker run -d -e "PROXY_TARGET=example.com" -e "PROXY_TARGET_PORT=8080" -e VARNISHD_PARAMS="-a :YOUR_PORT -p default_ttl=3600 -p default_grace=3600" -p HOST_PORT:YOUR_PORT balmer/varnish-basic-auth

Default credentials in htpasswd is varnish:varnish
