Question Apache + Varnish + Nginx + HTTPS termination

[apaunovski]

OK, so I installed Varnish in a Docker container and I would like to know how do I set it up to work for port 443 / SSL traffic, as Varnish can natively handle only non-encrypted traffic...

I see I need an https terminator, and I couldn't find anywhere how to do the proper redirection / termination with Apache + (Varnish) + Nginx, as Plesk is doing.

Please help.

Hi apaunovski,

You must have a layer above that which applies the SSL certificate on the site. Normally it is done with a load balancer

Basically, you mean a second server?

Please explain. I am new to this.

Also, the big question is this:

Will this be more effective than LiteSpeed with LSCache?

What will be better for my sites?
