• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.

Question Alternative to Varnish Cache?

Erick Nunes

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
ubuntu
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.04
I don't understand much about caching, but I need to configure it for a client. I realized that it is complex to configure varnish in plesk.

I would like to know if there is any good and easy alternative to Varnish.

Thanks.
 
To be honest any caching (server) technology is going to be rather complex to configure. As in you'll need to read up on documentation and best practices. Nginx, which of course can be used and configured from within Plesk, comes closest to Varnish in terms of caching.
 
Hello,

you could try Redis which is supported by many application. Another alternative is memcached. The correct approach depends on your application, use case and development skills. If you could drop some more details someone might show you the correct direction.
The "Plesk way" would be to enable nginx caching. But this also enables a set of problems.

The thing is, Redis and memcache require application support to be useful, while with varnish you'd rather have to take care of not caching things that should be dynamic.

Like setting the browser caching parameters.
