Taurus\_VarnishConfig
=====================

[](#taurus_varnishconfig)

A Magento 2 module that automatically keeps your Varnish configuration up to date by downloading a remote VCL template, processing it with Magento's native placeholder substitution, and applying it to the running Varnish instance.

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

1. A cron job runs once a day
2. The VCL template is downloaded from a configured URL
3. Magento's built-in `VclGenerator` replaces all standard placeholders with live values from the store configuration (backend host/port, access list, grace period, SSL offload header, design exceptions)
4. The processed VCL is saved to `var/tmp/varnish_extended.vcl`
5. The new configuration is loaded and activated via `varnishadm`: ```
    varnishadm vcl.load magento2
    varnishadm vcl.use magento2

    ```

**NOTE:** `vcl.load` and `vcl.use` commands are not flushing the already cached pages.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Magento 2 with `Magento_PageCache` module
- PHP 8.1+
- `varnishadm` available in the system `PATH` of the user running Magento cron

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require taurus-media/module-varnish-config
bin/magento module:enable Taurus_VarnishConfig
bin/magento setup:upgrade
```

CLI command
-----------

[](#cli-command)

The VCL update can also be triggered manually:

```
bin/magento taurus:varnish:update-vcl
```

This runs the same logic as the cron job and exits with code `0` on success or `1` on failure, making it suitable for use in deployment pipelines.
