Hi,
I'm hope someone will find this post useful.
In Magento 2 Admin, Go to Stores > Configuration > "Advanced" > System > Full Page Cache
Change the "Caching Application" to "Varnish Cache"

Save Config.
Now you have to download the varnish.vcl with "Export VCL for Varnish 4". Once you download this file open this file with a text editor.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx should be your Magento 2 website IP.
In Line Number 22, Add your Docker Network IP. This can we vary. eg - Some systems runs dockers on 192.. If you run #ifconfig as Root. It will show you the Docker0 inet IP. This is the IP you have to use.
Create a directory "/root/varnish/conf" and create a file called "default.vcl" with the above content.
Lets start the Varnish Docker via Command Line, We will be using "million12/varnish" Docker.
Once the Docker start as below, you can press CTRL + C to stop it.
Go to Plesk Admin Panel > Dockers > Varnish Docker > "Settings" > Tick "Automatic start after system reboot" > "Ok" > "Start"
IMPORTANT STEP - if you are using Plesk Firewall or any Firewall - You should create this firewall rule -
The IP should be Docker Network IP as before.
You should also add 172.17.0.1/24 as a Trusted IP in "Fail2Ban/IP Address Banning" in Plesk or your Docker IP will be baned as an Apache Bad Bot.
Now you can add the "Docker Proxy Rule" in your Magento 2 Subcrition in Plesk.

Go to Plesk Admin Panel > Dockers > Varnish Docker > "Settings" > Tick "Automatic start after system reboot" > "Ok" > "Start"
IMPORTANT STEP - if you are using Plesk Firewall or any Firewall - You should create this firewall rule -
Code:
Allow incoming from 172.17.0.1/24 on port 7080/tcp
The IP should be Docker Network IP as before.
You should also add 172.17.0.1/24 as a Trusted IP in "Fail2Ban/IP Address Banning" in Plesk or your Docker IP will be baned as an Apache Bad Bot.
