All that's needed is better documentation on how to configure Varnish in a Docker container.

@Cesare it almost seems that they are using this uservoice platform to monetize new plugins and not to create new features for Plesk for the already paying user... not shocked by the latest experience with this feature request platform ...

@Nic nosotros igual, hemos migrado dos servidores a Cloudpanel y muy contentos, con varnish cache los sitios vuelan

@Cesare you are 100% correct - Plesk have been a little too greedy and its time for some competition. PS: We've migrated one of our servers over to Cloudpanel to trial it out in a production env and we are very happy!

THIS! 👇👇👇

I am a bit late to Dr. Giuseppe, but, where did I say that I would pay or not pay for this? Quote me, please.

All I said was simple.

One open source company, who has a great free product (Cloudpanel) has Varnish as part of their tech stack.

And all you have to do is......."Varnish Cache is integrated into CloudPanel as a turn-key solution. Enable Varnish Cache, and your sites will fly.".

And it doesn't work only on WordPress.

And yes, it's good, stable and I'll stop here as my point isn't to turn this into publicity for another platform, but for the improvement for this one, with a clear example that it's possible.

What I think is at play here is pretty simple and we can see it with another example, ClamAV.

It's the most requested feature here, but will never be implemented.

Why?

Because it's a free solution for a problem where Plesk already is selling products and making money with it.

The Speedkit uses Varnish.
Yep, you don't need to go around Docker yourself, because "Varnish" has been working on Plesk and making money for them for so many years.

Anyway, try Nginx caching, or go waste your time on Docker (don't forget to pay for it).

They build it, so they must know what they are talking about.
Related to how to make money and disregard the clients both at features requested, support, transparency that is.

Cesare, you can already do it. Having a button to install Varnish and configure it for any real website is a different thing.
It's impossible to have a single configuration that works for all website hosted. It must be done by hand.
Plesk just help you doing thing with GUI, it's not meant to replace the knowhow of a sysadmin.
Additionally you want it free. What about paying a module to do it?
You can already go to the support page and find the exact procedure to install Varnish for a single domain. Do you try googling it?
What else do you want.
The last one is just sad. Assuming I want a customer like you. Sorry I'm used to top tier customers.

@Giuseppe, Everything that Plesk installs, guess what, it's easy to install.

We want official support, because if anything goes wrong at any point (being configuration or regular use 2 years from now), try calling the people you pay every year (and well, let's not talk about the price increases) and tell them about Varnish use.

Oh wait.
Plesk and support in the same phrase used to make sense, but even that has gone (IME).

But yeah, In theory, officially supported -> Official support.

Another 2 things:
1) This is not a sysadmin competition, most people pay Plesk to have less of it, otherwise, why Plesk?

2) You lacking the knowledge to do it and being possible are two different things. Ask CloudPanel.
Oh, and they have Redis too.
For FREE.

Magicians?

"Pay someone else to do it".
Not you, for sure.

Installing it is easy, configuring it isn't. It will not work out-of-the-box after install.
You can already install it if you want. What else do you want? just a checkbox in the update page?
Not worth the time. Just use apt or dnf.

@Giuseppe - installing it is easy, I want it to be officially supported!

Stop asking for useless stuff. If you want Varnish you can install it by hand and configure it. Just like Redis. I already use both since years with Plesk without problems.
Varnish is impossibile to configure automatically, because it highly depends on the website it's running behind. Each website requires different varnish config, there isn't a preconfigured standard config. You WILL HAVE problems if you install Varnish in a preconfigured way. If you are a real sysadmin then you can install and configure it yourself. Otherwise, pay someone else to do it.

maybe in 2030....

Phew 11 years!! Is there a plan to add this any time soon ?

+1 after 11 Years.. oh boy....

+1 for vanish cache

No, I don't want to try Nginx caching because I don't use Nginx.

Would you mind working once in a while and putting relevant stuff on Plesk?

Thank you.

Basically people would rather use Varnish for obvious reasons and not nginx cache.

Come on Plesk, what are you waiting for to plan this? This is one of the most requested features and on top of everyone's list.

Will Varnish EVER be implemented on Plesk?
Please, don't tell me to create a boat to be able to use it with issues, and don't tell me about votes when this is already on top (and we're not talking about something mainstream).
Just a yes or no would be good.

+1 for vanish cache

I think the same. How long will the silence last from Plesk?
Varnish has been proposed for 10 years!
Can you explain why they don't implement it? They can not? They do not know?
