Do you know of any good starting config file that can be used ?
* https://github.com/mattiasgeniar/varnish-3.0-configuration-t... (fairly well maintained with CMS specific VCL examples)
* https://github.com/slashsBin/nuCache (library for different programming languages, not so CMS centric)
Both of these are listed in our utilities directory:
* https://www.varnish-cache.org/utilities
Other Varnish (VCL) extensions can be found in the VMOD directory:
* https://www.varnish-cache.org/vmods
If you have ideas on how to make both these resource more visible and accessible for our users, please let me know.
I think it would be great if varnish had an official repo with different configuration templates for different stacks that could be used as "drop-in".
For example, my question about a fairly basic Rails config (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8431927) had a couple of different answers disagreeing about stuff.
Also, things like SSL termination are something that the documentation skips over entirely - I understand completely that Varnish does not implement it, but Varnish necessitates the introduction of certain other players in the stack, which it should document.
For example, a canonical example of varnish setup as Nginx (SSL termination) -> Varnish -> Nginx (reverse proxy) -> App would be very useful.

Can you give more details about the hardware setup?
